I always though those two bone-heads could never have pulled it off by themselves. How do you think they were recruited?

Well, Nichols spent some time in the Philipines, didn't he? Would've been a perfect place to recruit him.

McVeigh during Desert Storm; the ole Jew war line used by the Saudis. He then recruited Reynolds; hence the trip to the Phillipines.

Look at the other converts during Desert Storm; Sniper Mo, Imam Yee?,

I may have something fairly detailed to say about this subject in subsequent stories. I'm still chasing a few things I need before taking that one on.

Timothy McVeigh could've been converted to Islam during the Gulf War? It's being said now that Saudi Arabia actively proseltized US military members during that time, right?

I read somewhere that Nichols left his first wife for another woman, a foreign national. I don't know if this is true. What I still clearly remember is Nichols' second wife appearing for the trial all smiles and laughing as if going to a party.

Timothy McVeigh had a sad childhood (this is not meant to excuse anything he might have doen). But it might have made him vulnerable to conversion to Islam during Desert Storm -- this is just a guess. According to one report, he was popular, showed leadership qualities, and built up the morale of his fellow troops.

My husband refuses to believe that those two were able to pull it off by themselves.
