Conservative news watchers want more answers on why an Iranian grad student at George Tech nearly burned himself to death making homemade bombs inside his apartment.

The incident happened in early February, but gained new steam over the weekend after Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit and Jim Treacher at The Daily Caller posted items on the explosion, which sent Saamer Akhshabi to the hospital with third-degree burns over 90 percent of his body.

“Sounds suspicious,” Reynolds wrote.

Treacher posited: “Why was he making them? I have no idea, because this only made the local news in Atlanta and there was no follow-up. Nobody’s curious about why this guy was making firebombs in his apartment.”
