Well, I can surely help you with that. But, I refuse to mention names of anyone involved just because. There are alot of rumors linking it to middle east terrorists, but i think that noone wants to admit that someone like you and me could ever think up something so dispicible. I hope they all rot in hell.
It's quite obvious that this is a very strong subject for me and I didn't know anyone involved.
The best place is to go the OKC National Memorial site, or the News OK website. The link for the News ok is listed below because it is hard to find the link on their website for it. Everything you need to know can be found there.
I hope this helps you but like i said, this just boggles my mind. I only just recently found a book and it verified something that I had heard shortly after it happened. It is one of those things that is very hard to find because not may people would be able to accept it. Let's just say that its been 12 years and I still cry at the thought of it. YOu might have to register so if you live in Canada or elsewhere you might have to email them and ask about how they would be able to help. I have relatives so I was able to use their address. This way you can access the articles (there are so many) from 1995 through to today.

Oklahoma Bombing Chronology
1995
April 19 A bomb rips through the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building at 9:02 a.m. McVeigh is arrested 90 minutes later on a firearms charge after a routine traffic stop near Billings, Okla.
April 21 Federal authorities arrest McVeigh, who resembles the sketch of John Doe No. 1, in connection with the bombing only hours before he was expected to make bail on the firearms charge in Perry. Nichols surrenders in Herington, Kan., after learning police are looking for him. Nichols and his brother James are held on material witness warrants.
May 10 Terry Nichols is formally charged in the bombing.
May 23 Wrecked hulk of the building is brought down. James Nichols is released; charges against him are later dropped.
Aug. 2 McVeigh's sister Jennifer testifies before a federal grand jury.
Aug. 7 McVeigh's attorney, Stephen Jones, suggests an unidentified leg found in the rubble could belong to "the real bomber."
Aug. 8 McVeigh friend Michael Fortier and his wife testify before the grand jury.
Aug. 10 Grand jury indicts McVeigh and Nichols on murder and conspiracy charges. Fortier pleads guilty to a minor firearms charge as part of a plea bargain. U.S. District Judge Wayne Alley is assigned to the case.
Sept. 14 Alley denies requests from prosecutors and defense attorneys that he step down from the case because his office and courtroom were damaged by the blast. He sets trial for May 17 in Lawton, about 90 miles from Oklahoma City.
Oct. 20 Prosecutors announce they will seek the death penalty against McVeigh and Nichols.
Nov. 21 Defense attorneys ask the court to move the trial out of Oklahoma, arguing that intense media coverage had tainted the jury pool.
Dec. 1 A federal appeals court removes Alley from the case, ruling that bomb damage to his courtroom and chambers could raise doubts about his impartiality.
Dec. 4 Chief U.S. District Judge Richard Matsch of Denver is appointed the judge in the case. During the trial he earned the reputation of being an efficient judge.
Dec. 12 Matsch strikes the May 17 trial date, but does not set a new timetable.
1996
Feb. 20 Matsch moves the case to Denver, ruling that McVeigh and Nichols have been ``demonized'' by intense media coverage in Oklahoma.
Feb. 23 Medical examiners announce that the mystery leg belonged to a previously identified victim.
March 30 McVeigh and Nichols are transferred to a federal prison in Englewood, Colo.
April 19 Mourners gather at bombing site on the anniversary of the attack and pause for 168 seconds of silence -- one second for each victim.
May 29 Matsch rejects Nichols' civil challenge to the federal death penalty.
June 26 Matsch tells survivors and family members they cannot watch trial proceedings if they plan to testify against McVeigh and Nichols.
July 15 Matsch says a law establishing closed-circuit telecast of the trial is constitutional. He later orders the telecast to be shown in a government auditorium near the Oklahoma City airport.
Aug. 14 Matsch refuses to throw out the bulk of the evidence, and says statements Nichols made to authorities after his arrest could be used against him, but not against McVeigh.
Sept. 25 Matsch rules federal death penalty is constitutional, clearing the way for prosecutors to seek it against McVeigh and Nichols.
Oct. 25 Matsch orders McVeigh and Nichols to be tried separately, ruling their rights could be compromised by a joint trial. Nichols will be tried after McVeigh, but no date has been set.
Nov. 15 Matsch sets McVeigh's trial on March 31.

Feb. 20 Matsch denies defense requests to eliminate testimony of six prosecution eyewitnesses who changed portions of their testimony over the past two years.
Feb. 28 In a story on its Internet site, the Dallas Morning News reports that McVeigh confessed to the bombing. Two other reports on the purported confession follow in the next two weeks.

Aug. 20 Calling his client an ingrate and a liar, Stephen Jones asks the court for permission to step down as McVeigh's lead attorney for the appeals process.
