Ever since the bombing of the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, critics have contended that more people were involved than Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. A recent federal lawsuit alleges that Iraqi agents also played a role and McVeigh’s former defense attorney claims that prior to the bombing Nichols made contact with international terrorists. In a special report CBS 11’s Steve Narisi says the trail some investigators are following leads to the Philippines. “The U.S. Government has contended all along that any link between Nichols and Islamic extremists is strictly coincidental. During Nichols and McVeigh’s trial, the court didn’t allow...

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agents arrested two suspected white supremacists Thursday after a raid at a northern Illinois home, during which agents seized assault weapons, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and purportedly racist materials. Twin brothers Dennis and Daniel Mahon, 59, were taken into custody by agents on firearms violations after arrest and search warrants were served at the Davis Junction, Ill., home. Dennis Mahon was frequently mentioned as a possible suspect but never charged in connection with the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City that killed 168...

One hears a liberal rant, and the only thing a reasonable person can do is step back to avoid being struck in the face by the rabid spittle. Bill Maher - a man who once cheered an assassination attempt on Dick Cheney - had the following things to say about Glenn Beck: BILL MAHER, HOST: Listening to people like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck these days, I cannot figure out whether these right-wingers are more dangerous when they're in power or when they're out of power. Because when they're out of power, their paranoia goes off the charts. This Glenn...

Just my opinion.

The FBI is appealing an order that allows a Utah attorney to conduct taped depositions of Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols and a death-row inmate. Salt Lake City lawyer Jesse Trentadue believes that the two inmates have valuable information about his brother's death in a federal prison - and about the FBI's alleged withholding of many of the relevant documents requested in his Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) suit. Authorities say the August 1995 death of Kenneth Trentadue in a cell at an Oklahoma City federal prison was a suicide, but the inmate's family believes he was mistaken for...

Q: What is the difference between Barack Obama's friend Bill Ayers of the Weathermen, and Osama bin Laden and Timothy McVeigh? A: Thanks to a combination of incompetence--the Weathermen tended to blow themselves up with their own bombs--and luck on the part of any potential victims, Ayers did not actually manage to kill anybody. Otherwise, it is hard to identify any difference because planting a bomb almost automatically puts innocent people at risk. (The Left can relate to this because, when the French Navy mined the "Rainbow Warrior," it tried to get the crew to leave the ship first. A...

Rush compared Bill Ayers to Timothy McVeigh. I found this video that makes the analogy. We Hurt. We Remember. We Vote. It matters to us.... Who you're friends are.

Stashed in 700 feet of boxes tucked away at the University of Texas at Austin lies a detailed look at the case of Timothy McVeigh. He's the Gulf War veteran executed in 2001 for bombing the federal building in Oklahoma City. McVeigh lead counsel Stephen Jones of Enid, Okla., donated transcripts, FBI reports, correspondence, videotapes and other materials to UT a few years ago, but the archive didn't become public until a federal court ruled this month that Jones couldn't claim a charitable tax deduction for the gift. The archive sits in the University's Center for American History. It's a...

According to USINFO, a website "produced and maintained by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of International Information Programs", President George Bush said in an October 4, 2007 Arab television program that Islam is a "great religion that preaches peace." According to World Net Daily, Bush made the statement "in an interview with Al Arabiya reporter Elie Nakouzi." The U.S. Department of State website also stated, "The president said he does not believe that those who murder innocent men, women and children for political objectives are 'religious people,' whether they be suicide bombers in Iraq or self-proclaimed Christians such as...

I always wondered if Timothy McVaigh really was the one who did the whole thing. While talking to some friends about this one mentioned there has been some work done here and some published articles about a possible Muslim connection.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The FBI failed to fully investigate information suggesting other suspects may have helped Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols with the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, allowing questions to linger more than a decade after the deadly attack, a congressional inquiry concludes. The House International Relations investigative subcommittee will release the findings of its two-year-review as early as Wednesday, declaring there is no conclusive evidence of a foreign connection to the attack but that far too many unanswered questions remain. The subcommittee's report will conclude there is no doubt McVeigh and Nichols were the main perpetrators, and it discloses...

MINDANAO, PHILIPPINES - There are so many links between the Abu Sayyaf Group of the Philippines, which beheaded an American hostage a few months ago, and Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda terrorist network, that on paper they look like the route map for a Peshawar-based airline. The links run from that high, bleak border city in Pakistan to terrorist dens in Afghanistan and Yemen; to murders and bombings in the Philippines; to the first attack on the World Trade Center; to a foiled attempt to assassinate the pope during a 1995 visit to Manila. A captured Abu Sayyaf guerrilla, ...

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - FBI evidence that helped convict Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols went on display Friday at the Oklahoma City bombing memorial, even as a congressman and others continue to raise questions about the 1995 explosion that killed 168 people. The display includes items ranging from mangled pieces of the truck used in the explosion to the automatic Glock handgun taken from McVeigh when he was arrested by a state trooper 90 miles from the bombing site. ``Hopefully, the exhibit will answer some of the questions the public has regarding the investigation,'' said Nancy Coggins, spokeswoman for the...

In what some on Capitol Hill are calling a surprising decision, Rep. Henry Hyde, R-Ill., has given the nod for hearings into the long-debated question of whether those responsible for the bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building had help from any foreign source. Spurred to action by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., Hyde has given Rohrabacher's Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee of the House International Relations Committee the wide-ranging authority to conduct interviews and subpoena documents related to the April 19, 1995, terrorist attack that left 168 dead, 19 of them children. Interviewed Wednesday, Rohrabacher confirmed that his nearly two-year-long personal...

JAYNA DAVIS TO GO AFTER ROHRABACHER on Monday morning, we believe in the 7AM hour, Central Time. LISTEN TO THE KLIF STREAM FROM DALLAS California Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher has made some news lately regarding reopening an investigation into the OKC bombing. But don't anticipate that Rohrabacher really wants to get to the truth. Those who have followed Jayna's incredible reporting and read her blockbuster book, THE THIRD TERRORIST, know that there has been a coverup of the Iraqi connection to the bombing of the Murrah Building. Jayna has 22 eyewitnesses who make compelling witnesses that Iraqis were involved in...

Feds say Padilla may have been higher in Al Qaeda WLS By Chuck Goudie May 25, 2006 (Last Updated: 8:23:47 PM) - Federal investigators say they have evidence that former Chicago street gang member Jose Padilla was a higher ranking member of Al Qaeda than first thought. Four years ago this month when Jose Padilla was arrested at O'Hare Airport, federal agents considered him a Chicago street gang member who had been recruited by Al Qaeda terrorists to scout potential American targets, but now U.S. prosecutors believe Padilla was operating at a much higher level than just an advance man...

BBC archive: 1995: Many feared dead in Oklahoma bombing A huge car bomb has exploded at a government building in Oklahoma City killing at least 80 people including 17 children at a nursery. At least 100 people have been injured and the number of dead is expected to rise. In an emotional speech, President Bill Clinton vowed "swift, certain and severe" punishment for those behind the atrocity. "The United States will not tolerate and I will not allow the people of this country to be intimidated by evil cowards," he told a White House news conference this evening. Trapped in...

The BBC re-published an online article today that they first published 11 years ago. Note the following paragraph: The State Department would not discuss the possibility of this being a terrorist attack but the FBI and Oklahoma police put out an alert for three men believed to be of Middle Eastern origin driving a brown Chevrolet pick-up truck. Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman and ten of his supporters are currently on trial for the World Trade Center bombing in February 1993. We all know today that the government dropped its search for any connection to Middle East terrorists, despite strong evidence...

ROHRBACHER DEMANDING NEW PROBE OF OKC Jayna Davis and I had an interesting phone conversation this morning. She is still waiting for a plane ticket to D.C. and an invitation to testify about the OKC bombing. Neither has been forthcoming. Is it good news that Rep. Dana Rohrbacher (R-CA) is demanding a new probe of the OKC bombing? Maybe. But is it going to really get to the truth about the Middle Eastern connection to OKC? Maybe not. Last year, David Schippers, famous for prosecuting both the Chicago mob and William Jefferson Blythe Clinton, flew to OKC to meet...

LONDON, July 10 (IslamOnline & News Agencies) – A U.S. author has launched a blistering attack on U.S. president George W. Bush’s war on terror, a U.K. newspaper reported Wednesday. In his latest book titled Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace: How We Got To Be So Hated, Gore Vidal raised several question marks, U.K. daily newspaper the Daily Mirror reported. The outspoken 76-year-old said the U.S. provoked the September 11 attacks with its own military intervention in countries around the world, the paper said. Staunch democrat Vidal, a former White House aide to John F. Kennedy, insisted the U.S. should...

OKC BOMBING FALLOUT Congressman to FBI: Turn over documents Rohrabacher hopes feds won't attempt to delay investigation into attack Posted: August 24, 20051:00 a.m. Eastern By J.D. Cash © 2005 McCurtain Daily Gazette Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif. The McCurtain Daily Gazette has obtained a copy of U.S. Rep. Dan Rohrabacher's tersely worded letter to FBI Director Robert Mueller, asking him to comply with a federal judge's order directing the Oklahoma City FBI office to provide records regarding their investigation at Elohim City and the Mid-west bank robbery gang. Rohrabacher, R-Calif., recently interviewed convicted killer Terry Nichols and others with information concerning...

The Left has long used the example of Timothy McVeigh to claim racial profiling is not only morally wrong but also ineffective. After all, a white male committed this act of destruction. However, the reality shows law enforcement officials always had the right profile in the Oklahoma City Bombing. Amnesty International has been in the forefront of the anti-profiling vanguard. An Amnesty International report stated: “When law enforcement officials focus on what people look like, what religion they follow, or what they wear, it puts us all at risk. Several incidents in history illustrate this risk…In 1995, after bombing the...

Newly released documents received by a Salt Lake City attorney in his suit against the Oklahoma City FBI office provide the strongest evidence yet that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has been conducting a well-orchestrated cover-up of evidence linking Timothy McVeigh to subjects that frequented, and in some cases resided, at an eastern Oklahoma paramilitary compound called Elohim City. At the center of this cabal were numerous informants. At least two of those providing critical information about the Elohim City conspiracy reported to a tax-exempt civil rights group, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), headed by Morris Dees. Perhaps...

The McCurtain Daily Gazette today reports several former powerful and high ranking Justice department officials confirm there was a coverup of the investigation to the Oklahoma City bombing. Ten years after the Oklahoma City bombing, a published report says several former high ranking Department of Justice officials who want to remain anonymous claim there was a coverup of the attack which killed 168 persons. The story is carried by the McCurtain Daily Gazette in Idabel whose reporter J-D Cash has spent a decade investigating the bombing and its ties to Elohim City, a religious and white separatist compound in eastern...

Speaking on the condition that their names not be revealed, a group of former Department of Justice (DOJ) officials have told this newspaper that the FBI never seriously investigated Tim McVeigh's connections to a right-wing paramilitary training camp. Neither, they say, were McVeigh's ties to a notorious bank robbery gang operating in the Midwest investigated. Further, FBI agents interested in working the case were thwarted by Department of Justice attorneys and by other FBI officials. Even spoken with their identities hidden because of fears of retribution, the explosive statements are especially surprising now, coming as they do on the heels...

Jose Padilla's Oklahoma City Connection   Was Jose Padilla, the American citizen suspected of plotting to detonate a radioactive "dirty bomb" in the U.S., connected to the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in April of 1995? Christopher BradyPosted: Thursday June 13, 2002 06:13AM ET Glenn Beck Program Exclusive Jose Padilla is the focus of great speculation by Americans today. How can the U.S intelligence agencies have known that Padilla was plotting to detonate one of the most sinister types of weapons of mass destruction? Is it because these agencies had received reports, as John Ashcroft claims, that Padilla and...

Nichols' comments tie McVeigh firmly to Elohim City By J.D. Cash During a jailhouse interview Monday in Colorado with U.S. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., Terry L. Nichols admitted traveling to the outskirts of Elohim City with Timothy McVeigh in October of 1993. The admission is the first time Nichols has confirmed McVeigh's ties to the terrorist training camp and should finally lay to rest years of speculation as to McVeigh's longstanding connections there. After the April 19, 1995, bomb-ing of the Oklahoma City federal building, this newspaper reported a phone call made from McVeigh's motel room in Kingman, Az., to...

Terry Nichols reveals involvement in blast By Nolan Clay The Oklahoman Copyright 2005, The Oklahoman Terry Nichols has admitted to the FBI and his family for the first time that he was involved in the Oklahoma City bombing. The convict, 50, started speaking to the FBI about his role in April and told his mother, sister and first ex-wife in June at the federal prison in Florence, Colo. "I didn't like it.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Bombing conspirator Terry Nichols has told the FBI and his family that he was involved in the 1995 bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building, according to a published report. Nichols, serving life prison sentences on federal and state convictions for the bombing that killed 168 people, started speaking to the FBI about his role in April at a federal prison in Florence, Colo., The Oklahoman reported in a copyright story in Sunday's editions. Nichols, 50, made similar disclosures to his mother, sister and first ex-wife last month. "I didn't like it. Oh, God, I said,...

After a meeting with convicted Oklahoma City bomber Terry Nichols, a U.S. congressman reaffirmed evidence of a Middle East connection to the 1995 attack. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif. – who has publicly vowed to address unanswered questions about the bombing – went with a staff aid to the super-maximum security prison in Florence, Colo., where Nichols is serving 161 consecutive life sentences, according to the Northeast Intelligence Network, a private, counter-terrorist research and investigation group. In his quizzing of Nichols, the congressman relied heavily on the investigative work of journalist Jayna Davis and her book, "The Third Terrorist: The Middle...

Behind the Lone Terrorist, a Pack Mentality By Mike German Sunday, June 5, 2005; Page B01 The FBI has long maintained that Timothy McVeigh, who was executed in 2001 for the Oklahoma City bombing that claimed 168 lives, was the prototypical "lone wolf" terrorist and that anyone implicated in the bombing conspiracy is behind bars. But old loose ends and troubling new revelations about McVeigh's association with white supremacist groups have led many people to wonder whether a wider conspiracy was behind the bombing that took place just over 10 years ago. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, a California Republican, is considering...

McVeigh defense document confirms explosives found at Nichols' home By J.D. Cash and Lt. Col. Roger Charles (U.S. Marine Corps, retired) McVeigh's admissions to the defense team a decade ago appear to confirm Terry Nichols' allegations that the bombers purchased explosives from Arkansas collector Roger Moore. (Contributed photo) <> Pushed to the point of anger and frustration, Timothy McVeigh told a member of his defense team that Arkansas gun collector Roger Moore sold him explosives before the Oklahoma City bombing, "Because he knew that I would put them to good use." The cold-blooded admission was made at the El Reno...

Judge: FBI Must Do Better Search on Case By MATT KELLEY, Associated Press Writer Mon May 9, 7:19 PM ET WASHINGTON - A federal judge has ordered the FBI to do a more thorough search for records about possible links between the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and a gang of white supremacist bank robbers. U.S. District Judge Dale Kimball rejected the FBI's argument that all it had to do was a cursory computer database check. Salt Lake City lawyer Jesse Trentadue had filed a Freedom of Information Act request for FBI documents related to any links between a purported informant,...

After a decade of silence, Terry L. Nichols, who was convicted in the Oklahoma City bombings, has accused a third man of being an accomplice who provided some of the explosives used to kill 168 people at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building 10 years ago. Nichols, in a letter written from his cell at the Supermax prison in Colorado, said Arkansas gun collector Roger Moore donated so-called binary explosives, made up of two components, to bomber Timothy J. McVeigh that were used in Oklahoma City, as well as additional bomb components that recently were found in Nichols' former home...

The links between Nick Berg and Zacarias Moussaoui, once described as the 20th hijacker of 9/11, opened now room for new speculations, if there are deeper ties between the OKC Bombing'95 and 9/11, than thought before. Apparently Berg knew also Moussaoui's roomates. One of them was Mujahid Menepta, who is connected to both 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the 1995 OKC bombing.

During the 9/11 congressional hearings a year ago, there was a common question that the commissioners seemed to enjoy asking: Why was the U.S. not on “war footing” when the 9/11 attack occurred? If the government truly wanted to seek all information regarding intelligence failures leading up to 9/11, the Commission should have asked one of its own members about the Oklahoma City bombing that killed 171 lives a decade ago on April 19, 1995. In one of the biggest cover-ups in the history of the U.S., the federal government purposely avoided investigating incriminating evidence of a plot that pointed...

On the surface there would seem to be little to unite the Aryan racialists of the neo-Nazi movement with the terrorists of radical Islam. To the neo-Nazis, Muslims are almost all members of ``inferior`` races; and to the Islamic terrorists, the neo-Nazis are almost without exception either atheists or members of fringe quasi-Christian sects. But the reality is that there has been close cooperation between Muslim extremists and Fascists ever since the founding of the Nazi movement in the 1920`s. For all of their differences, Muslim extremists and Nazis have always been united by a common group of beliefs and...

Didn't see where another thread existed

One month after the April 19, 1995, Oklahoma City bombing (search) that killed 168 people, authorities demolished what was left of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building (search). Officials said the implosion was a necessary part of the psychological recovery for the citizens of Oklahoma City. But critics question the FBI’s tactics and argue the building came down too soon and the implosion is one piece of a government cover-up. Survivor VZ Lawton remembers the events after the attack. “I was in my office at my desk signing papers and all of a sudden the building began to shake,” said...
