According to your own definition, a fact is "Knowledge or information based on real occurrences." What evidence do you have for any of these facts. I see all kinds of warnings that were supposed to have been issued immediately before hand, do we see any documents that have been authenticated? Any documents? Or just some anonymous person saying that some other unknown person said such and such.

What direct knowledge do you have about any of the connections in the Phillipines? What direct knowledge do you have that Nichols didnt go there looking for mail order brides? He certainly came back from there once or twice with a Phillipine bride or were they just secret Abu Sayef agents? The gist of that article suggest that Nicols was a lot more involved in the bombing than originally believed. I would think if all this was true, the state government would love to bring it out in court in order to make sure Nichols gets death sentence. But no it must be someone like the Cigarette Smoking Man who is preventing it from coming to light. Sure. Im out of here. Enjoy your fantasies.

Sorry, I'm not going to do your homework for you. You still haven't refuted a single point of fact except by tossing around your doubt and smears. You're way out of your league and don't have the first clue how journalism or debate works.

To give you a head start though, if you seriously care to enlighten yourself and want copies of documents and sources you can start with this AP reporter.

Warnings Cited Before Oklahoma Bombing Thu Jun 20, 7:42 AM ET

By JOHN SOLOMON, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - Just weeks before Timothy McVeigh bombed the Oklahoma City federal building in 1995, U.S. intelligence and law enforcement received several warnings that Islamic terrorists were seeking to strike on American soil and that a likely target was government buildings, documents show...

... The intelligence that prompted the warnings was gathered across the globe from Iran and Syria to the Philippines and became more specific as to the potential type attack (suicide bombing), target (government building) and likely date (after the third week in March 1995), the documents show.

The U.S. Marshal's Service issued an alert on March 15, 1995, to federal courthouses it protects, including the one in Oklahoma City across the street from where McVeigh's truck bomb killed 168 people, the documents show...

...Separately, the General Services Administration received a warning from the FBI and asked hundreds of federal buildings it operates to increase security details, including the Murrah building, officials said.

"We were told there was a fatwa threatening to target federal buildings," GSA spokeswoman Viki Reath said this week. "We increased our patrols to 12-hour shifts."

More than two dozen current and former intelligence and law enforcement officials interviewed by AP said the period of spring 1995 was a time of heightened "chatter" among terrorists seeking to strike the United States.
