I have sporadically read a few things about an Iraqi connection to Oklahoma City. But one thing said in this article doesnt make sense, or at least is confusing why it was said.
He even sported a tattoo on his left arm that Davis said indicated he likely served in Saddam Hussein's Republican Guard (this was before the rest of us ever heard of the Republican Guard).
Oklahoma City was in 1995, 4 years after Desert Storm when the Republican Guard was a household phrase. Small detail, but seemed out of place.
Just how did all these Iraqi's end up in Oklahoma City? One thing I read was that many of the Iraqi POW's from Desert Storm were brought here to live, for what purpose, I dont know. I think it was David Schippers (impeachment fame) who was doing a investigation into the Iraqi connection.

I would hope that somewhere, there is a document with the Evil One's signature authorizing them to do this destruction (on both buildings.) That would be the icing on the cake.

A civil suit may provide the link between Iraq and the anthrax.

Jayna Davis has made a pretty compelling case regarding Iraqi involvement in Oklahoma City. Of course a right wing militia type was the Clinton profile of the greatest evil facing the United States. McVeigh fit, investigation closed.
Wouldn't it be something to discover she is right? Would that finally shut the Clintons up?

Nothing will shut the Clinton's up if you mean talking. If you mean shut up in prison, I hope so.

Oklahoma City was in 1995, 4 years after Desert Storm when the Republican Guard was a household phrase. Small detail, but seemed out of place. Yes, and it doesn't answer your question but both during and after Desert Storm Saddam Hussein was very vocal (I had an entire video tape full of his threats) saying that he was going to unleash his "agents" to attack America and American interests.
I remember that very clearly. It seems those threats never happened as far as the media and others are concerned.

Same as the backwash of many wars and refugee flows: enemy agents are infiltrated to target countries. In this case Iraqi POWs and others claimed refugee status under fear of persecution at home in order to infiltrate the USA. Cuba has done this, as well as many other commie regimes, it's standard stuff.

...saying that he was going to unleash his "agents" to attack America and American interests. And not just America, but the "heart of America."
Which is interesting because depending on the map, either Denver or Oklahoma City would constitute the "heart," IMO. Actually, Wichita would be the "true" heart on one map I had, but Oklahoma City is twice as big and just 160 miles south. (Versus Denver at 500 or so miles nw/w away.)
For whatever that's worth...

"Recall that in the immediate aftermath of the explosion, the FBI launched an international pursuit of several Mideastern-looking males seen fleeing the Murrah building in a brown Chevy pickup immediately before the blast. Without explanation, that APB was canceled"
I do recall this. I heard the APB cancelation with my own ears. One of the TV stations was running the police band on the TV and someone came on and oredered everyone to quit searching for the brown pickup truck. He also said the order had come from the 'highest authroties.'
That has always been one of the more eerie things about my own memory of the bombing. It was my first clue that something was terribly wrong and it didn't have that much to do with Tim McVeigh.

STATE OF OKLAHOMA

AFFIDAVTIT
I, HENRY C. GIBBONS, being duly sworn, do hereby state that I am an agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, having been so employed for 26 years and as such am vested with the authority to investigate violations of federal laws, including Title 18, United States Code.
Further, the Affiant states as follows:

2. On April 15, 1995, a powerful explosive device detonated in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, at approximately 9:00 a.m.
3. On April 19, 1995, a Special Agent of the FBI received information that a witness near the scene of the explosion saw to individuals running from the area of the Federal Building toward a brown Chevrolet truck prior to the explosion. The individuals were described as males, of possible Middle Eastern descent, approximately 6 feet tall, with athletic builds . One of the persons was further described as approximately 25-28 years old, having dark hair and a beard. The. second person was described as approximately 35-38 years old, with dark hair and a dark beard with gray in it. The second person was further described as wearing jogging pants, a black shirt and a black jogging jacket. A third person, not further identified, was believed to be in the brown Chevrolet truck.
4. At approximately 10;O a.m. on April 19, l995, an American Airlines flight left Oklahoma City en route to Chicago, Illinois. Aboard that flight was Abraham Abdallah Ahmed. Ahmed was scheduled to fly from Chicago to Rome, Italy and finally to Jordan.
5. American Airlines personnel-in Oklahoma City observed Ahmed prior to the flight and thought he was "acting nervous." They called the American Airlines national security office in Dallas, Texas, who in turned notified the Chicago office of the FBI.
6. Ahmed was interviewed by FBI Agent Chuck Miller upon his arrival in Chicago at about 12:30 p.m. Ahmed stated that he was travelling to Jordan to discuss his father's planned marriage. He also advised that he was born in Jordan but, was a naturalized United States citizen. He also said he was not scheduled to return to the United States until July 1595. Ahmed was observed to be approximately 5' 8" tall, weighing approximately 140 pounds, and wearing a moustache. His date of birth is July is, 1963.
7. The luggage of Ahmed continued on the connecting flight from Chicago to Home, Italy, while Ahmed remained in Chicago. The luggage was searched in Rome by Italian officials who discovered, inter alia: (a) multiple car radios (b) a substantial quantity of shielded and unshielded wire; (c) a small tool kit and other tools, consistent with use for both explosive devices and normal electronic repair or installation; (d) blue jogging pants and a blue jogging jacket with a floral pattern around the neck; (e) black sweatpants; (f) video cassette recorder; and (g) solder.
8. At the conclusion of the interview, Ahmed secured passage on a flight to London, England.
9. On April 20, 1335, British authorities informed the FBI Command Center in Washington, D.C., that they detained Ahmed in London and have determined that he is ineligible far entry into or transit through England and will be returned to the United States. Ahmed is expected to arrive at Washington-Dulles international Airport at 7:25 p.m. on April 20, 1995.
10. Based on the proximity in time of Ahmed's flight from Oklahoma City following the explosion to a destination outside the country, and his possession of multiple car radios, the wire, tool kit and tools, a blue jogging suit and black sweatpants, the testimony of Ahmed is required before a Federal Grand Jury investigating the April 19, 1995 explosion in Oklahoma City.
11. Ahmed's demonstrated intent to leave the country indicates that his testimony cannot be secured through the issuance of a subpoena.
Further your affiant sayeth not.

http://www.prisonplanet.com/news_alert_082593_iraq.html Resettling Iraqi POWs in U.S. Criticized; Lawmakers Urge Clinton to End 'Potentially Dangerous'
Washington Post 08/25/93: William Claiborne
More than 80 members of Congress have asked President Clinton to end what they called the "potentially dangerous and unfair policy" of resettling captured Iraqi soldiers in the United States along with deserving civilian Iraqi refugees.
Nearly 1,000 Iraqi soldiers captured by U.S. forces during the 1991 Persian Gulf War have been resettled at public expense in cities across the United States. They are among nearly 3,000 Iraqi refugees -- the majority of them civilians -- who have been resettled in the United States from internment camps in Saudi Arabia.
Another 3,000 Iraqi former POWs and their families are scheduled to be moved here on humanitarian grounds, the complaining House members said. According to the State Department, the former prisoners were conscripted into the Iraqi Army against their will and have now been classified by international agencies as refugees who face persecution by Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's regime if they return home. Many of the former POWs provided valuable services to U.S. forces in the aftermath of the war, administration officials said.
