On page 127 of Clarke's new book "Against All Enemies", Clarke notes that it's possible that al Qaida operatives in the Phillipes "taught Terry Nichols how to blow up the Oklahoma Federal Building." Intelligence places Nichols there on the same days as Ramzi Yousef, and "we do know that Nichols's bombs did not work before his Philippines stay and were deadly when he returned."

And there were probably 10,000 other Americans in the Philippines on those same days. Isn't Nichole's wife is a Philippino? Was he just visiting the in-laws? And what about his "bombs" not working before? How many freaking bombs did he build?

I'd like to know where Clarke got this stuff. If he can link OKC to al Quida, he sould do it. But this stuff is sounding like black helocopter filler for a book.

The Middle Eastern links to the OKC blast have been made by Wolfowitz, Laurie Mylroie and several members of Congress who want to reopen the investigation.

The book The New Jackals was written in 1999 by Simon Reeve and clearly outlines more facts than I can remember. What I do remember is that Nichols wife was not in the Phillipines at the time. As well, the bomb used to bring down the OKC building is the EXACT same kind of fertilizer and explosive ingredients that Yousef used in the past. John Doe #2, never found, was described as a Middle Eastern man.

There are several old threads and sites you could visit if you were interested in reading more about this matter.

Just do a search for Oklahoma City Bombing.
