Since then little has been said about it in the MSM. Now I have been listening to the airwaves and internet for anything, then I got this in my e-mail today.

Illinois State Police
Office of Counter-Terrorism
Statewide Terrorism Intelligence Center (STIC)
Information Alert
Suicide Bombers on Campus
The information contained in this Alert is being provided due to the recent suicide bombing which occurred
on October 1, 2005, at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma. A 21-year-old engineering
student attached explosives to himself, approached to within 100 yards of a packed stadium of 80,000 and
just before half-time detonated the explosives killing himself. The investigation is ongoing. The
information below provides a list of indicators that may assist in identifying suicide bombers and actions
that must be taken.
How To Identify A Suicide Bomber?
• Appearance: wearing loose or bulky clothing inconsistent with current weather conditions,
protruding bulges or exposed wires under clothing, chemical burns on clothing or stained hands,
odd hair color (chemical effects), head band with Arabic writing, bulky backpacks.
• Behavior: repeatedly circling an area on foot or in a car, pacing back and forth in front of a venue,
glancing left and right while walking slowly, fidgeting with something under his or her clothes,
exhibiting an unwillingness to make eye contact, sweating, mumbling, the appearance of being
drugged (enlarged pupils, fixed stare, erratic behavior), tunnel vision, attempts to gain a position
near crowds.
• Smell: too much cologne or perfume (used to overcome the smell of chemicals), talcum powder,
scented water (used for ritual purification), strange chemical odors such as chlorine.
• Vehicle: front and back license plates that look forged, do not match or are missing, prolonged
parking in a non-parking location, parking in a central strategic location, the vehicle’s rear part sags
noticeably. Bicycles may also be used to hide improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
• Residence: gathering of many individuals in one residence, conducting group prayer from
residence, different individuals frequently entering and leaving the residence, sour smell from
presence of chemicals, unusual items such as incubators and dehydrators.

Ingredients Used By Suicide Bombers
The discovery of any combination of the materials and items listed below indicate that an attack is in
planning:
• gristmills
• grinder banks
• bottles of urine
• chemicals (TATP, TNT, Chlorine, Hydrogen Peroxide, PETN)
• large quantities of fertilizer
• detonators
• wire
• nails
• cell phones
• pipes
What To Do In Case You Observe Suspicious Activity?
It is imperative that law enforcement entities are notified when a combination of indicators described above
are discovered on your campus. The following may assist the security personnel in coordinating with the
law enforcement agencies:
• Call your local police department and give the operator as many details as possible about the
suspect, their residence and the vehicle.
• While speaking to the operator, try to keep an eye on the suspect or vehicle from a safe distance.
• Wait for the arrival of the police forces.
The Statewide Terrorism & Intelligence Center (STIC) will continue to provide updates to the educational
community on any threats that may affect that sector. University police, security officers, and educational
officials should remain vigilant to recognizing possible threats, and immediately report these to their local
police department.

Evidently the Il State Police think it may be more than just the disgruntled young man some are trying to say. I stick by my assessment, he was the first suicide bomber in the US since 9/11, he just failed to get in the stadium with the 84,000 people he was trying to kill some of.

Stay alert and stay alive!

A Pox on the so-called "Professional Press" for their incompetence and downright idiocy in the "coverage" of this terrorist attack. It's getting harder and harder to not think of the whole "profession" as nothing but a worthless mass of human waste, sitting around waiting to be told what to report and how to write it.

If anyone wants a good example of why it is important for everyone to hold themselves to the highest degree of competence (no matter what the job), they need only look at the utter and complete joke the press has become through their own acceptance of their peers' incompetence and dishonesty.
