Oklahoma: Joel Hinrichs Case Revisited
A few months ago I wrote the following in an early entry about the story of the young Muslim man who 'committed suicide' outside the Football Stadium of the University of Oklahoma while the biggest game of the year was going on.
It is always a sad day, when you suspect your government, a government you love, is lying to you. But it is just that too many questions remain about Joel Hinrich's suicide-by-bomb outside OU's football stadium.
Today new information surfaces: Expert says student in blast blew himself up accidentally
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - A University of Oklahoma student from Colorado who blew himself up outside a packed Gaylord Family/Oklahoma Memorial Stadium probably didn't commit suicide, a Norman police bomb expert said.
"I believe he accidentally blew himself up," Sgt. George Mauldin said Tuesday of Joel Henry Hinrichs III, a 21-year-old engineering student who died in the explosion Oct. 1.When asked if he believed Hinrichs meant to enter the stadium with the explosives, Mauldin said, "I don't believe he intended for an explosion to occur at that spot (on a nearby park bench)."
Hinrichs, of Colorado Springs, Colo., had two to three pounds of triacetone triperoxide, or TATP, in a backpack on his lap when it exploded about 173 yards from the stadium during the second quarter of the Oklahoma-Kansas State football game, Mauldin said.
