One doubts that the Iraqis helped bomb the Murrah building...but the Philippino press had a lot of reports about McNichols meeting arab terrorists in Makati (Manila) to learn how to make a car bomb. Heck, they even had comedy skits about Arab bombers at the time...even though two Philippine airlines planes were bombed in the early 1990's (one disappeared, one bomb blew up on the runway thanks to a delay in taking off) and their were well known threats to kill the Pope during his visit to Manila, stopped mainly because the traffic was too dense to get clost to him...
And there are lots of Muslims in Oklahoma...maybe because they came here to study, and stayed and brought their families to live in freedom...
"One" can doubt all she wants, as for the remainder of us, we believe they did.

His name is Nichols, not McNichols. And do you have a source on this? I can find no evidence that Nichols was in Manila...only the Philippines. Now Ramzi Yousef and Khalid Shaikh Mohammed...yes, they were reportedly in Manila.

No arguments with this para.

Ri-i-i-ght < /sarcasm>....see the quote from Richard Clarke's book in the last line of my post #21:
The final coincidence is that several al Qaeda operatives had attended a radical Islamic conference a few years earliler in, of all places, Oklahoma City.More info for you:
Yousef and Nichols crossed paths in the Phillipines. Mohammed was Yousef's uncle. It is interesting to note that Yousef entered the United States on an Iraqi passport and had been known among the New York fundamentalists as "Rashid, the Iraqi". Another name that could be thrown into the mix is Abdul Rahman Yasin, a U.S. citizen who moved to Iraq in the 1960's and returned to the U.S. in 1992. After the 1993 WTC bombing, Yasin fled to Iraq and was given monthly salary and housing by Saddam Hussein's regime.
