The Oklahoma City bombing was a terrorist attack on April 19, 1995 aimed at the U.S. government in which the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building was bombed in an office complex in downtown Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The attack claimed 168 lives and left over 800 injured. Until the September 11, 2001 attacks, it was the deadliest act of terrorism on U.S. soil….The United States was represented by a team of prosecutors, led by Joseph Hartzler. In his opening statement, Hartzler outlined McVeigh’s motivations and the evidence against him. McVeigh’s motivation, he said, was hatred of the government, which began during his tenure in the Army as he read The Turner Diaries, and grew through the increase in taxes and the passage of the Brady Bill, and grew further with the Waco and Ruby Ridge incidents. The prosecution called 137 witnesses, including Michael Fortier, Michael’s wife Lori Fortier, and McVeigh’s sister, Jennifer McVeigh, all of whom testified on McVeigh’s hatred of the government and demonstrated desire to take militant action against it.*

Funny how they never caught that mystery “3rd man”….it must be hard to find the masterminds of crimes like this, considering as how they all work under classified identities at the FBI/ CIA, et al…http://www.cnn.com/US/9703/10/third.man.am/Kind of like all of these “terror cells” that keep getting created by sloppy FBI ‘informants’, etc.Ever notice how many of these lates FBI cases ( most of which totally crumble at trial) involve mentally ill people?
