Most likely it was chosen by Al Queda because middle eastern peoples are far more familiar with pressure cookers than with propane tanks.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

So are they already ruling out international terrorism?

Between quotes I've seen like that above, and the President actually using the word "terrorism", I'm figuring they think, or want to think, it's domestic. If it was Al Qeada, Obama would have said that we can't jump to conclusions, and maybe it was" workplace violence".

They're going to be mighty busy in/around schools.

Chris

Why, yes they are. 

Three advantages to the school heavy approach:
1. Visible presence "protecting our children."
2. Indoctrinate the kiddos to be compliant with unconstitutional searches.
3. Very small likelihood of ever finding a real threat.

Please explain the "guy on the roof"?

Sorry, I haven't been following the paleomedia very well.

Pressure cooker makes perfect sense to me. Nice big lid compared to a propane tank, common, also innocuous. It's a piece of kitchen cookware which does not look as suspicious as a propane tank in many situation such as in your car or being carried around.

I'm surprised at how small the thing is. The only pressure cookers I ever knew were like 10 gallons so you can put 2 layers of canning jars in them. I didn't even know they made pressure cookers that small. I guess people must use them for something besides canning?
Maybe a rare occurence, but then you only have to get murdered once to ruin your whole day.

I think the pressure cooker design would lend itself to creating a nice shaped charge, too.  Send your blast out in a 360 degree pattern, but not up or down.  Good for creating mass casualties.  It's a shame we can't have the pepetrator drawn and quartered by motorcycles.

I have a six quart Fagor stovetop pressure cooker.  Back when the kids were still at home, and I was cooking for four, I used it all the time.  It was the bees knees to come home after work, and get a good meal on the table quickly.  Now that it is just the two of us, it occurs to me that I hardly use it at all anymore.  I should dig it out from the garage and flip through some of my pressure cooker cookbooks.

In the pictures shown of the bomb fragments on fox news it looks like it was some sort of electric pressure cooker.
Plug in counter top type device?

Probably.  I think the pressure cooker is only the vessel.  I think it's about the shape, and the locking lid.  Plus a pressure cooker is pretty innocuous.

It was in one of Al Queda's magazines how to make one from a pressure cooker.

Suspect is being reported as "dark skinned". 

Word got around that they got this guy on camera, dropping off a backpack at the site.  If true, this guy is completely screwed.

If this guy's an American, since he killed a Chinese national, what'll happen to him?  Will the Chinese insist on extradition?
Will we do it?

Including the story JJ linked, must have updated it. I wonder if they caught the guy then Gitmo'ed him?

Can't speak for the content of that site, but that picture of the two guys in kahki cargo pants, desert boots, black coats, black bags, ear pieces, and one guy wearing a Punisher hat?

Those guys couldn't be more military/LEO if they tried. Either plainclothes working the event, or something else.  But definately working.

Ugh.  Damn I hope they're not some sort of wackadoodle militia types. 

IMHO they totally look .mil or contractor.  I'm thinking they were working, too, and just got caught up in it like everyone else.
