I suspect the ANFO "problem" has a simple solution: McVeigh somehow got hold of enough Semtex or other high explosive to knock down the building. No massive conspiracy or demolition charges inside the building required. The trouble is, nobody knows where McVeigh might have gotten such stuff.
OKC does look rather a lot like the embassy bombings in Africa. TNT was, at least, a component of those bombs.

I'm still curious why so many don't believe ANFO could have done the job. The front of the bldg was just a sidewalk away from the truck. All it would have taken was a column to collapse, then the pancake effect would account for the rest. Low bidder govt building?
Remember, whatever the explosive was, it did massive damage for hundreds of feet. I can see a limited number being involved in the actual bombing. A larger conspiracy? Could be, guess I just need more evidence.

Remember that notebook page found in an al Qaeda house in Kabul entitled "Explosivija za Oklahomu" (Serbocroatian, i.e., Bosnian, for "Explosive Used in Oklahoma,") followed by formulas for an explosive including nitroglycerin. No coincidence that the OKC and East African bombings were similar.
