Answer 1

There was a sighting just before the bomb went off, of two Arab looking guys in sweatsuits running from the area. I doubt if the two who were charged were smart enough to pull it off alone, but the trail is over, so you might as well forget it.

Answer 2

There is NO credible evidence of Islamist or other foreign links to the Oklahoma City bombings.

Timothy James McVeigh (April 23, 1968 – June 11, 2001), American terrorist convicted of eleven federal offenses and ultimately executed as a result of his role in the April 19, 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, claimed that the bombing was revenge for "what the U.S. government did at Waco and Ruby Ridge." He visited Waco during the standoff, where he spoke to a news reporter about his anger over what was happening there.

McVeigh was considered by many an anti-government extremist, with a long background in the survivalist movement. He frequently quoted and alluded approvingly to the controversial novel The Turner Diaries, which describes acts of terrorism similar to the crimes that he was convicted of perpetrating. Photocopies of pages sixty-one and sixty-two of The Turner Diaries were found in an envelope inside McVeigh's car. These pages depicted a fictitious mortar attack upon the U.S. Capitol in Washington.

In interviews following the Oklahoma City bombing, McVeigh said he began harboring anti-government feelings during the Gulf War. Some question the veracity of this claim in light of McVeigh's attempts to become a Green Beret after returning from Iraq.

On 19 April 1995, McVeigh drove the truck to the front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building just as federal offices and its day care center opened for the day. Prosecutors said McVeigh strode away from the truck after he ignited a timed fuse from the front of the truck. At 9:02 a.m., a massive explosion collapsed the north half of the building. 168 people died and 850 more were injured in the explosion. The 168th victim, rescue worker Rebecca Anderson, died after the initial blast, when it is believed, the back of her head was struck by a piece of debris that had fallen from the building. Some of the victims were small children in a day care center located on the ground floor of the building. (Later, McVeigh did not express remorse for these "collateral damage" deaths, but he said he might have chosen a different target if he had known the day care center was there.)

According to the Oklahoma City Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism (MIPT), over 300 buildings were damaged and more than 12,000 volunteers and rescue workers were involved in rescue, recovery, and support operations.

Answer 3

Muslim terrorists had nothing to do with the Oklahoma City bombings. This was the work of Timothy McVeigh, who was pissed at the government and determined to do something about it.

Answer 4

definite Timothy McVeigh concealed in the back of his sympathy for Ruby Ridge and Waco. certainty: He became a individual no longer in his precise thoughts. He became seeking to belong. The extremist have been given carry of him and twisted his thoughts even added and performed on his weaknesses.
