WASHINGTON Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., is calling for a congressional investigation of the Oklahoma City bombing because of evidence of a foreign connection and a conspiracy broader than Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. In a memo written to Rep. Henry Hyde, chairman of the House International Relations Committee, Rohrabacher said he has spent 12 months personally investigating the April 19, 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building that killed 168 and concluded "there is ample evidence to justify an investigative hearing into this historic crime." The focus of the probe, he suggests, should be "Was there a foreign connection to the Oklahoma City bombing?"
"The official position today, defended by the FBI and Justice Department, is that the OKC bombing, which left 168 persons dead, was planned and executed solely by two disgruntled veterans, Timothy McVeigh, Terry Nichols, with the limited involvement of Michael Fortier," writes Rohrabacher. "After my inquiry I have concluded that others were involved and that information about the bombing is being kept from the public and from the Congress. The jurisdiction of my Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations extends only to the possible international and foreign involvement in the crime. Even within that framework there is ample evidence to justify an investigative hearing."
Rohrabacher worked closely in his personal investigation with Jayna Davis, author of the WND Book, "The Third Terrorist: The Middle East Connection to the Oklahoma City Bombing." The congressman said there are two major targets of inquiry which indicate a foreign connection to the OKC bombing:
"First, Terry Nichols and, to some degree, Timothy McVeigh appear to have had contact with Arab, Muslim, or Middle Eastern terrorist elements prior to and during the implementation of the bomb plot," he wrote. "Second, just as significant, there is evidence of a personal relationship between Timothy McVeigh and Andreas Carl Strassmeier, a German national who was promoting violent insurrection to white supremacists at their nearby stronghold called Elohim City."
Rohrabacher concludes in his memo to Hyde: "(I)t is highly likely that the Arab connection and or the Strassmeier connection played a significant role in the planning and execution of the murderous bombing of the OKC federal building. In both possible scenarios, the official investigation fell short and further investigation has been discouraged ever since."
He suggested a one-day or two-day hearing and suggested subpoenas be issued to former FBI Director Louis Freeh and former Attorney General Janet Reno. "The bombing of the OKC federal building was the greatest slaughter of innocent Americans until 9/11," Rohrabacher writes. "It is possible there was an al-Qaida connection. It is possible there was a Strassmeier connection. There is ample reason to disbelieve the official version of this horrific crime. It is up to us to begin setting the record straight."

bttt!
"Why does the FBI continue to stonewall on OKC, Flight 800, "
The core of the FBI was involved in the coverups, so the reason should be obvious.
The FBI is largely still loyal to billie boy.
President Bush got to assign a new head to the CIA , and the purge is ongoing.
I have never been a conspiracy theorist but clearly there have been a lot of coverups over the past few years. OKC is the most obvious.
bump
Many incriminating documents were in the OKC building.
The terrorists wanted a target.
killbill killed two birds with one stone.
I hope this happens. I'll bet it is carried live on C-SPAN...15...at 4 in the morning on April 31st.
I hope Dana R. doesn't treat Jayna and her info like Specter did. Ol' "Magic Bullet Arlen" swore he was going to "get to the bottom of this" -- and then did his usual cover-up act.
Well stated, I'm reminded that numerous surveillance videos which might have revealed what went on in front of the building were confiscated and never returned by the FBI. And MSNBC live reports at the time of the incident stated "another bomb has been diffused and explosives experts were working on a second bomb in the building."
Jose Padilla's connections to OKC bombing andf Al-Qaida
Also, remember Iraq's ties to the Phillipines, and Nichols ties (wife from there) and trips to the Phillipines.
Thanks for the ping.
Jayna presented affidavits from 22 eyewitnesses to the FBI. The affidavits disppeared.
Yes. John Doe Number 2. The striking thing about that sketch and the one of McVey was how remarkably true to life each was, a vastly better quality than most such sketches. The FBI never did anything effective to run down John Doe Number 2.
And what ever happened to Jose Padilla? The last time I heard anything about him he was being kept at an undisclosed location with still no charges filed against him. What's the deal on Padilla? Anyone know?
Come and talk to us.
"Had what happened in OKC been revealed, Clinton would have been forced to deal with the problem, and we could have avoided 9-11."
Couldn't agreee with you more, Doug. 9/11 is just one of MANY Clinton Administration screw-ups that America is starting to finally SEE.
I'm glad someone is starting to rattle the cage about OKC.
Madistan, WI is having their 150th birthday this year. They put out a magazine this past weekend, containing an article on the Sterling Hall (Army Math Sciences) building that was bombed during the VietNam war by PEACE-niks. The van that blew it up (killing one man and destroying the structure of the building) was the same type of fertilizer & fuel bomb that McVey used.
I'm not drawing a comparison...it's just that reading that article this weekend reminded me of OKC and the most-likely foreign connections...and how whacked out and VIOLENT Socialists are at heart.
According to Jayna, with whom I just spoke, Dana was on the committee and got info about the prior warning. He is not declassifying it. That is what Jayna wants. Iran used Iraqi proxies and lilly whites to do this.
Well, duh...
Ramzi Yousef (1993 WTC) and Terry Nichols crossed paths in the Phillipines. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (9/11) 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.
Jayna Davis has said on repeated occasions that she wants to present her on camera interviews with 14 of the eyewitnesses. Dana told her there is no money in the budget for a plane ticket for Jayna to D.C.
Rohrbacher has to declassify the entire prior warning.
