At this time there doesn't seem to be anything but speculation as to who did this. I agree that it looks like Islamic terrorism, but I am not going to state it out loud because in the past I have been wrong. I remember the 1996 Atlanta bombing and at the time I suspected islamic terrorists, but it turned out to be domestic terrorists.
Yesterday when the Saudi national story was making the rounds I discussed the situation with my co-workers basically saying I believed it was islamic jihadi terror, but now I am seeing that most sources report that the saudi man was a cold-lead which did not result in any clear linkage to the attack.
I hope we know more about what happened soon..
Remember the 1996 bombing, I remember it like it was yesterday...

The Centennial Olympic Park Bombing was a terrorist bombing on July 27, 1996 in Atlanta, Georgia, United States during the 1996 Summer Olympics, the first of four committed by Eric Robert Rudolph.[1] Two people died, and 111 were injured.
Centennial Olympic Park was designed as the "town square" of the Olympics, and thousands of spectators had gathered for a late concert by the band Jack Mack and the Heart Attack. Sometime after midnight, Rudolph planted a green U.S. military ALICE pack (field pack) containing three pipe bombs surrounded by nails underneath a bench near the base of a concert sound tower. He then left the area. The pack had a directed charge and could have done more damage but it was slightly moved at some point.[2] It used a steel plate as a directional device.[3] Investigators were later to tie the Sandy Springs and Otherside bombs together with this first device because all were propelled by nitroglycerin dynamite, used an alarm clock and Rubbermaid containers, and contained steel plates.[4]
Security guard Richard Jewell discovered the bag and alerted Georgia Bureau of Investigation officers. Jewell and other security guards began clearing the immediate area so that a bomb squad could investigate the suspicious package. The bomb detonated before all spectators could leave the area.
Alice Hawthorne, 44, of Albany, Georgia, was killed in the explosion when a nail from the bomb penetrated her skull. A Turkish cameraman, Melih Uzunyol, 40, had a fatal heart attack while running to the scene.[5] The bomb wounded 111 others.
