Bombshell new evidence ignored by the FBI suggests a link between the Oklahoma City bombing and the man who masterminded the first World Trade Center bombing and who later drew up the blueprint for the 9/11 attacks, Fox News Channel's Rita Cosby is set to report Sunday night.
"It's amazing to me that not more has been made of those phone records,” Oklahoma City attorney Michael Johnston tells Cosby, for her tenth anniversary special on the 1995 attack. The explosive new evidence shows that OKC bombing co-conspirator Terry Nichols repeatedly called a boarding house in [the Philippines'] Cebu City, an establishment that has been linked to al Qaida Twin Tower bomber Ramzi Yousef.
The same kind of ANFO fertilizer fuel bomb was used in that attack and the one two years later that destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah building.
Additional phone records dismissed by earlier investigations show that repeated calls were made from Terry Nichols' home to a place called Star Glad Lumber in the Philippines.
"Star Glad Lumber is operated by a man whose brother and cousin were both notorious terrorists, splinter groups of the Abu Sayyaf terror group in the Philippines,” Johnston tells Cosby.
After Yousef's Philippine bomb factory was uncovered in February 1995, Philippine police discovered three versions of the 9/11 plot on his laptop computer.
In one formulation, Yousef intended to plant bombs on 12 U.S. airliners flying over the Pacific, with each bomb to be detonated simultaneously.
A second variation involved bombing planes over U.S. territory.
A third version of the plans discovered on Yousef's computer envisioned hijacking multiple airliners in the U.S. and crashing them into national landmarks. The World Trade Center and Pentagon were mentioned specifically.
Investigators say that after his capture, Yousef's uncle, Khalid Sheik Mohammed, took the plans and presented them to Osama bin Laden, who decided in finance the third version.
Cosby's special report will also delve into claims made by Yousef's al Qaida partner in the Philippines, Abdul Hakim Murad - who was captured on the spot after Yousef fled.
On the morning of April 19, 1995 - the day of the OKC blast - Murad reportedly told a guard at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City where he was being held that he and Yousef were behind the attack.
Reporting for Insight Magazine in 2002, investigative journalist Kenneth Timmerman detailed the episode:
"Lt. Philip Rojas, a prison guard, asked Murad what he thought [about the blast] and found his response so startling that he informed his superiors. They, in turn, called the FBI.
"Special Agents Francis J. Pellegrino and Brian G. Parr arrived later that morning, within hours after the Oklahoma City blast. 'Murad responded to the guard's question by stating that the Liberation Army was responsible for the bombing,' they reported in a witness report. 'A short time later, Murad passed a note to the guard, again claiming that the Liberation Army was responsible for the bombing in Oklahoma City.'"
Timmerman said that the "Liberation Army" was a fictitious organization used as a code by Yousef, and other al Qaida members "whenever they are making announcements" of responsibility for terrorist attacks.
Tune in to the Fox News Channel, Sunday, 9 p.m. ET, for Rita Cosby's special report: "The Oklahoma City Bombing: Unanswered Questions."
Hell, they still have footage of the bombing they won't release.
I would hardly call this "new" evidence. Many have written about it for some time, including Pat Briley (aka OKCSubmariner). What seems to be new is that someone is actually reporting it in a major media outlet.
I've always wondered about that too. Someone paid for those tickets and it should have been traceable. If he paid cash that is also a strong indication of other's involvement since he was essentially broke.
This is one of the areas where I go against my typical--more-info-is-better stance.
I do not want to know a lot of those details. The perspective of eternal life in Jesus will be soon enough to look abck and realize the treachery in our midst.
None of it is new evidence. And OKCSubmariner? He was run off this board because of certain people who decided he was a liability.
This then begs the question as to what other agencies have been infiltrated and who is pulling the strings?
No, doesn't everyone remember?...It was all Rush Limbaugh's fault!</sarc>
A must read and a must watch tonight!
They were so bent on "lowering" the crime rate, that they ignored crime.This is exactly the way the French police handle crime. By denying it exists.
Jayna will be on my next Rightalk radio show and do a FReeper question and answer thread right after the show. She will be on KABC in Los Angeles on Tues, 7am Pacific with Doug McIntyre. www.kabc.com for streaming.
Ruby Ridge, Waco, OKC, TWA 800, Vince Foster ... reminds me of this headline from today: Woman hit by train, dies. All I can say, welcome aboard, better late than never. ;^)
This so-called "news" is as old as the OKC Bombing itself. And, the people, who revealed the truth back then, were subjected to stultification. And, some of us knew instinctively that this was an effort by foreign terrorists to strike at America's heartland. The American people just weren't paying attention!

And you just now are beginning to think there may be something rotten at the F.B.I.
You have just come to the conclusion that just maybe they don't tell the truth sometimes?
I wouldn't trust the f.b.i. or the bureau of alcohol tobacco firearms c.i.a. or the i.r.s. if they told me it was Sunday.
Or witness testimony! Clinton swept this under the rug, the one some young intern knelt on.
Clinton....drug smuggling, Tyson, Ruby Ridge, Waco, Elohim City, Oklahoma City, Elian Gonzales, Monica, rape , murder and mayhem....and impeachment which had the facts and came to the wrong conclusion.
Some here have expressed concern over Clinton's failing health. Not me!
It wasn't just instinct, either. Eyewitnesses saw two (some say three) middle eastern men rushing off in a brown pickup truck. There was an APB out for the truck and the M.E. men, and it was broadcast live on the air from the television station's police scanner--that is, until everthing about M.E. men went quiet. I live nearby, and saw/heard it when it was aired the day of the bombing.
