    This is the bomber's Amazon wishlist:

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/registry.html?ie=UTF8&type=wishlist&id=1PNVMAW2D4CT1

    Lots of books on how to make fake ID's

    Anymore internet fingerprints on the two guys?

    Yeah, that he bookmarked in 2006/2007. He was probably only 13 and trying to buy booze, etc...

    edit: Didn't realise it was the older brother, but he would have only been 18.

    I have a two of those Fake ID books.

    They suck.

    Pity he didn't buy them and rely on them for making IDs, he'd be caught by a stoned clerk when he tried to buy a beer.

    Random updates from Reddit:
    The woman being held "hostage" earlier saw plain clothes police officers outside her house and panicked, calling the police. (Ironically).

    The brothers didn't rob the 7-11. They were just spotted there on cctv buying petrol.

    I am asking myself a question, how come the 2 suspects only had a hand made normal cheap device to commit their "terror attack" and all of a sudden they had explosives and heavy artillery and guns??

    No-one seems to know if he definitely had explosives but he is not related to the suspect they're looking for.

    Lot of noise about a note attached to a stop sign near a hospital. Could just be someone taking the piss but could also be his way of making contact.

    Mr. Sanders of NBC crouched on the ground with his camera operator when the authorities suggested there was an imminent threat. He later said a police officer told him, “If you knew what was going on, you wouldn’t be standing here right now.”

    :eek:

    Because "heavy artillery" and guns are conspicuous and bags with pressure cookers in them aren't?

    It's must easier to buy machine guns than to buy a bomb.
    As much as America may have crazy gun laws. They dont let any old person buy 200lbs of c4 for example. So all these terrorists make their own devices.

    If it wasn't real life, you'd almost have admiration.
