At 7:14 a.m. on this date in 2001, Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh was executed at the federal penitentiary in Terre Haute, Ind.
More ink has been spilled about the 33-year-old Gulf War veteran and his infamous crime than this space can possibly hope to summarize. Books can be — and have been — written debating whence McVeigh sprang and whether he was rightly convicted.
McVeigh tended to keep coy about his version of his activities on April 19, 1995,* but he was never less than frank about his philosophy.
Though his avowed motive, the Waco slaughter that occurred two years to the day before Oklahoma City, has never exactly been secret, the way he’s connected those events has also never been particularly welcome. And McVeigh would say that the fact that he suffered execution while the only parties punished in the Waco siege were the survivors makes his point

It’s a shame we could only execute him once.
Boy they sure didn’t waste any time to execute him.
Dead men tell no tales.
He waived his appeals.
Every indication is that McVrigh had converted to Islam via the Philippine groups. One of the last things he wrote was that he would be remembered as the first martyr of the nation
That is pure Islamic rhetoric
That is the first I’ve heard of that, and it makes no sense to me.
You missed the reporting out of OKC by Jayna Davis and her terrific book The Third Terrorist
Muslim ms refer to their entirety as the nation... And we know they like martyrdom
Terry Nichols had a Filipina wife.
Yup
Read The Third Terroist. It’s all in there
And the third terrorist ID sketch strangely resembled José Padilla.

McVeigh, for the most part, from youth on...was a nutcase.
At one point, he said that the army had put a tracking device in his butt. After the Army, he went to marginalized jobs...to make no real money. A lot of Army guys talked about his extreme racist behavior (he hated blacks).
This is a guy who had no attachment to society.
Yup
The Clinton and ot Bush Administration hid documents in the case, then they were found late in the game. What were they hiding, and why?
Always felt they expedited his execution because the was more to the story that the government didn’t want the people to know.
He and Terry Nichols had to many contacts in the Phillipines with Al Queda, and as the book the “Third Terrorist” points out the bomb was an IDENTICAL design and layout to an Iranian bomb detonated in South America months before.
Like TWA flight 800, we never got the truth.
A real Dip Shit.
