The Koran "appeared brand new and unused" an obvious plant... The Al CIAda agentPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image! that put the coke bomb together is the same guy that bought that brand new unused Koran and conveniently left it there for the police and FBI to find. I'm surprised he didn't leave some random Muslim's Passport lying right there beside it.
That does sound suspicious, but the CIA would know that a Muslim wouldn't drop the Quran there to be destroyed.
Are you sure as I know the Koran is always left, by Muslims, in safety,clean ,covered and at a higher level, away from the floor,in a 'quiet' place of meditation and reverence, I'm Christian and even I know that.
Unless, of course, it's meant to be destroyed in the ensuing fire. http://www.abcmoney.co.uk/news/11200785567.htm You sure of your facts, Brian?
I think that was his point - do we know where and how the Q'uran was placed in relation to the "explosive device"? 'Cause if it was, say, on the ground right next to the Coke can, placed with no respect or reverence - pretty obvious setup/plant, don't you think? But like Spider said, this would be obvious and very suspicious to the CIA, FBI, etc., who actually are looking for terrorists, whether they be white, brown or yellow - Muslims, Christians, Atheists or purple Scientologists. Also, this particular "factoid" could not be being reserved for future prosecution plotting, because it's obviously all over the news... So... Hmmmm....
Wow...your right..I am!! and a book is missing from my collection...and like OMG...I'm missing a half a key of RDX!

Your story says the bomber held the koran in his hand, this story of a coke can bomb and a koran left lying around waiting to be found is a stretch.
The point is that he brought it along. If it's a plant, why leave a Koran? Why not phone in a death threat and cry Allahu akbar? And why is it a story? Am I in on it? The CIA's little hasbara commando on the esteemed and internationally famous likes of SciForums? I had no idea our sekrit budget was so vast these days.
Yeah and that's why suicide bombs blow people up "randomly", including other Muslims, that's just shows so much concern for a Qur'an that might be on some muslim, in their car, or in a quiet place. You can't transport a quran to a quiet place without TRANSPORTING it. But God forbid a fundamenatlist Muslim consider the utter obvious.
And the device was planted in plain view in the street just waiting to be found, why not plant the bomb in a rubbish bin in a mall a call a threat in, I dont buy this one.
Various reasons. You could just as easily ask why a "false-flag" operation (since I know that's your thesis) would put it on the street too. Perhaps the person who made it just couldn't be bothered to put it elsewhere. Perhaps it was meant as a warning to specific local businesses.
If I had to guess...this might be a case of plain ole attempted murder, and whoever planted the bomb tossed the Koran on the ground in an attempt to make it look like a terror attack.
Possible. But would they just leave it on the ground? Who specifically would they be trying to kill? Unless it was like a really fat kid. "Hey - free Coke!"
I don't know..maybe the guy that owned the truck was boinking his wife. It not really clear how the device was to be triggered.
