Islamic Terror In Oklahoma?

The suicide by bomb of Joel Hinrichs, a student at Oklahoma University, has received little mention in the media since it occurred on October 1st. But now the Northeast Intelligence Network is claiming that he was part of an Islamic terrorist cell, and that he was apparently attempting to detonate his bomb inside the football stadium when it went off prematurely.

There are also unconfirmed reports that Hinrichs dorm room was found to contain Islamic literature. This case is now being investigated by the FBI. It would seem that we narrowly escaped a major disaster here, without it getting any serious attention in the press. I've been wondering if and when Al Queda would strike in the US again. Now we have the answer.

Oklahoma was also the scene of the bombing of the Murrah Building. That may be a coincidence, but it seems odd.
