McVeigh claimed that the bombing was revenge for "what the U.S. government did at Waco and Ruby Ridge."[25] He visited Waco during the standoff, where he spoke to a news reporter about his anger over what was happening there.[26]
McVeigh was considered by many as someone 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.
