Copyright 2002 by Patrick B. Briley At about 4 pm on April 18, 1995 one day before the OKC bombing, a Ryder truck stopped for gas at the E-Z Mart in far north central Oklahoma at a small town named Newkirk. A light blue 1970’s Chevy pickup truck stopped at the same time with the Ryder truck at the EZ Mart in Newkirk. According to witnesses the light blue pickup truck was driven by Terry Nichols and had a passenger with dark curly hair who was wearing a baseball cap, mirror glasses and was dressed in black. The pickup truck...

Copyright 2002 by Patrick B. Briley A librarian from Kansas was driving south down interstate I-35 when she witnessed near Perry, OK the pullover of Timothy McVeigh in his yellow Mercury Marquee (in the north bound lane) by OK State Highway Patrol trooper Charles Hanger. The pullover occurred on the morning of April 19, 1995 less than two hours after the OKC bombing. Hanger has testified that McVeigh was not speeding but was pulled over because he had no plates on his car. The librarian who witnessed the pullover is certain there was a second vehicle pulled over with the...

Copyright 2002 by Patrick B. Briley Evidence in the OKC Bombing case strongly indicates that McVeigh and Nichols had the combined help of individuals from domestic and foreign terrorist groups working together even though the FBI had infiltrated both types of terrorist groups well before the bombing. But not all the publicly named foreign terrorist suspects possibly involved were from Iraq or associated with Hamas or Abu Sayyef or AlQaeda such as Al Hussain Hussaini , Abraham Ahmad, Khalid Mohammed, and their Jordanian employer Samir Khalil. At least one foreign terrorist involved in the OKC Bombing known very well to...

<p>More than 100 Chinese artillery rockets found in Afghanistan were either smuggled into the country from China or sent years ago during the Soviet military occupation, U.S. officials said yesterday.</p> <p>The discovery raises new questions about China's past support of the Taliban militia and its al Qaeda terrorist allies.</p>

Part 1 described domestic terrorists that were seen helping McVeigh along with Middle Eastern terrorists do the OKC bombing. These domestic terrorists ranged from a Black Muslim, a native American Indian to members of the War Aryan Resistance (WAR), to Fortier’s next door neighbor James in Kingman, Arizona. Part 1 makes the point that domestic terrorists could help foreign terrorists strike again inside the US. Part 2 starts with the fact that Fortier’s neighbor James was a known drug trafficker who was associated with self proclaimed DEA agent Robert Jacques, the same name used by a man who visited real...

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR TNA Vol. 14, No. 20 pp. 2-3 September 28, 1998 Pieces of the OKC Puzzle Thank you for publishing “OKC’s Mideast Connection” in the September 14th issue of THE NEW AMERICAN. This important piece of the Oklahoma bombing puzzle has been deliberately covered up by those charged with the official investigation. The FBI received at least three warnings from Israeli and West German intelligence sources of a Middle Eastern-assisted attack against the Murrah Building starting as much as a month before the Oklahoma City bombing. One warning came from William Northrup, a well-known and respected U.S....

The head of the Dallas FBI office Danny Defenbaugh was the FBI Inspector of the OKC Bomb Task Force.

BEIJING, March 1 (Reuters) - China cut off power and water on Friday to a group of elderly Christians, detained during U.S. President George W. Bush's recent visit, in an attempt to evict them from an old people's home, its manager said on Friday. Chen Zhongxin, 63, manager of the home where police picked up 47 Christians when they gathered to pray last week, said local officials had dispatched workers to shut off electricity and water at the home in northern Beijing's Changping district. Nine elderly Christians, the oldest 98, and two children, one blind and one retarded, live ...

FORT WORTH, Texas - He's not just any former resident of Iraq. We talk with a man who spent time working at a camp where he says Saddam Hussein is training terrorists. Sabah Khodada told us he grabbed his family and ran because he opposed Saddam Hussein. And, he brought with him chilling accounts of what soldiers are being trained to do, training that includes the hijacking of planes. Saddam Hussein’s possible link to this attack is a mystery, but Sabah Khodada believes Iraq played a role. Today he watches Arabic satellite tv to keep up with his country. ...

Abu Sayyaf bandits were involved in international terrorist operations that targeted American facilities long before the Sept. 11 attacks that sparked US President George W. Bush’s global campaign against the al-Qaida and its allies. Philippine defense and police intelligence sources told THE MANILA TIMES that Abu Sayyaf leaders had met with terrorist masterminds of several atrocities just before US targets were hit. Although Philippine authorities advised American authorities of the alliance between the Abu Sayyaf, Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaida, and American neo-nazis, the US appeared to ignore the warnings; until Sept. 11. Strange bedfellows But according to the sources, ...

Ever since the country was savagely attacked on Sept. 11, the FBI has relentlessly investigated flight schools, airports, universities, mosques, Middle Eastern charities and Muslim communities, looking for connections to al-Qaida or other jihadist groups. The only stone, it seems, the bureau hasn't been willing to turn over is its own investigation into the Oklahoma City bombing. Presumably, that's because the 1995 terrorist attack was the exclusive work of homegrown extremists Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. Or was it? Even though McVeigh went to his death denying any larger plot, serious questions remain unanswered. Did John Doe No. 2 ...

DENVER -- Two appellate judges suggested Tuesday that Terry Nichols may be entitled to a court review to determine if tips the FBI received might help him in his appeals. Judges Deanell R. Tacha and Bobby Baldock of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals raised the possibility during 35 minutes of oral arguments on Nichols' latest appeal. Nichols contends the appeals court should instruct his trial judge to consider whether the FBI tips contain information that might result in a shorter sentence. Nichols, 46, is serving a life sentence for the conspiracy to bomb the Oklahoma City federal ...
