The FREDS at O.U.

I think I first read that abbreviation at Little Green Footballs, short for F'n Retarded Explosive Delivery System. They've released the name of the guy, but from there it's real confusing.

There's a pretty good rundown of the information currently available at Wizbang. What information is available seems to confirm that the explosive was a type often used by various jihadi groups; the guy seems to have had quite a bit of stuff in his apartment that the LE folks have carried off and disposed of. From there, ?.

Possibly a depressed student who decided to go out with a bang, possibly someone with an intention to set off a number of bombs where they'd kill other people. Take your pick. Until more information is released, your guess is as good as mine. World Net Daily had two articles (here and here) on it. Yeah, it's WWD, but a lot of what's there is also what's been on local news. One thing that makes me think there's a lot more than a suicide here is the FBI pretty much taking over the investigation; they don't do that for suicides. And the amount of stuff being hauled out of the home is worrisome.

All in all, a very nice mess. We'll see.
