Well. UT, if I can think Jr. is a psychopath, I guess you can think this kid was part of some Jihad. He grew up in Colorado Springs and was a honors graduate of one of the high schools here. Apparently he was a lonely, emotionally troubled, young man who had a fascination with explosive devices. His major was mechanical engineering, but he couldn't handle the mathematics classes required for an engineering major. He had joined the Triangle Fraternity at OU. This fraternity had been specifically requested to give places to Pakistani students who were subjected to various threats in the wake of 9/11. The kid's roommate was Pakistani, but he, himself, did not attend services at a Mosque. He may have gone there to pick up the roommate and give him rides back to their apartment, but that's about it. The suicide or Jihad attempt took place as the kid sat on a bench outside a science classroom building on the OU campus. Authorities continue to treat it as a case of suicide, as of today.

More about the young man who killed himself can be found in the University's student newspaper
