Suicide 'explosion' in OK

This is disturbing in its implications.

NORMAN, Okla. - One person was killed in an explosion near a packed football stadium at the University of Oklahoma on Saturday night in what authorities said appeared to be a suicide.

The blast, in a traffic circle about 100 yards from Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, could be heard by some in the crowd of 84,000, but university President David Boren said no one inside the stadium was ever in danger.

Of course, Boren said that assuming the suicide's intent was to blow his/herself up OUTSIDE the stadium. Reading on comes something that further belies Boren's assertion that no one was ever in danger.
A police bomb squad detonated explosives found at the site of the blast. The area near the stadium was searched by bomb-sniffing dogs.
Interesting that this does not make it onto YahooNews headlines or on the Google News headlines. It's listed at the bottom of the "Latest Headlines" panel at FoxNews.com and CNN.com has it listed on its site as "1 dead in blast outside football game".

Is it coincidental that this "suicide explosion" comes not long after the coordinated suicide bombings in Bali?

Color me suspicious.

What are you doing questioning the MSM's reporting?

You should just be worried about if Brad and Angelina are going to stay together!
