| Oklahoma bombing search warrant sealed | ||
| 2005-10-07 | ||
| WND, add salt, EFL:The warrant used to execute a search of Oklahoma University bomber Joel "Henry" Hinrichs III's apartment, where an undetermined amount of explosives were found, has been sealed by a federal court at the request of the Justice Department. Hinrichs blew himself up yards from Oklahoma Memorial Stadium Saturday night while tens of thousands of fans watched an OU-Kansas State football game. Bob Troester, first assistance U.S. attorney in Oklahoma City, said the department requested the warrant be sealed, but declined to elaborate when asked why it was necessary to do so given previous media reports that a depressed Hinrichs acted alone and on a whim. "You can draw whatever assumption you like," he said. "We don't comment on any sealed indictments."

| #11 Ah! Sealed warrant, not indictmemts. Maybe that was legal umbo jumbo. |

| #10 It also raises the question of whether he was an enthusiastic participant or either more passive (not uncommon with deeply depressed people) or even under some duress. Hard to tell. |

| #9 KKTV in Hinrichs' hometown of Colorado Springs has reported that the bomb he carried was detonated via a wireless device. While certainly not dispositive, that fact suggests strongly that he did not act alone and would likely account for the sealed warrant. |

| #5 It's almost like they have something to hide Or something about an on-going investigation they don't want to reveal. |

| #2 Maybe not just a depressed engineering student. From Counterterrorism Blog (via Off Wing Opinion ): A first report states that Joel Hinrichs may have tried to enter the football stadium from two different gates. He reportedly had a ticket to the game. The most concrete piece of information in the report comes from a student who says that a security guard working gate security told him that a young man with a backpack had tried to enter the stadium. When the guard tried to search the backpack, he says that the man wearing the backpack sprinted away. This is not a usual occurrence at Oklahoma University football games; the clear implication is that it may have been Hinrichs who sprinted off. |
