Excuse me for putting the tinfoil hat on, but does anyone remember the OKC "john doe #2" police sketch that looked just like Jose Pedia? (the Puerto Rican "Dirty Bomber")
Or was that an internet hoax? Scott |

If there was, it would've been used as further reasoning to more aggressively go after terrorists in the sponsoring country.
In other words, I highly doubt it. |

Padilla would have been 23 or 24 years old in 1995. He was released from his last stint in prison in 1992, a Moslem convert. Didn't have any run-ins with the law till 1997 for driving with a suspended license. He lived in Florida until he left the Country to become a "Peaceful"  person in the Mideast.Now if someone can piece together how Tim McViegh crossed paths with him, I am all ears (brings tinfoil and popcorn).  I personally wouldn't be surpised if McViegh got some help but I am not going to stake my life on it. Here is a nice link about Padilla. www.crimelibrary.com/terrorists_spies/terrorists/jose_padilla/4.html?sect=22 |

The only thing I know for sure about the OKC bombing is that we (the masses) do not know what really happened at OKC. Even if the only people involved were the two indicted there is more to it than what we have been told. Planerench out.

Well, what do you think about what Jayna Davis has to say on the subject?

A local OKC reporter has dug up a lot of data to support an Arab and specifically Iraq connection.

Go buy Jayna Davis' book, The Third Terrorist.
You will be shaking your head just 20-30 pages into it ! Those who do not think there was Islamic envolvment either have not read this book or just have their heads in the sand.... This book is a VERY interesting read! |

... I tend to believe no
... That McVeigh "circle" seemed to be more of the the radical anti-government "super-patriot" types. A group that would seemingly hate Islam as much as many here on this board do. |

Probably. And a BATF component as well.

Actually McVeigh was a anti-semite Nazi type. This leads me to think he may of had some Arab help, considering how anti-sematic they are. |

The question is, Did McVeigh harbor enough hatred and resentment to enlist the help of an American Muslim extremist to commit the OKC bombing? By any means necessary point of view. Pineapple bomb signature at an "ANFO" identified bombsite? It never added up. check it. www.worldnewsstand.net/patshannan/1.htm HS1 |

I heard an intreview on the radio last summer but never caught the name of the guy speaking or any other names, he claimed that
-the day the building was bombed was the same day, or anniversary of the death by lethal injection of some white supremecist. He was apparently being pursued by the IRS and just coincidentally was arrested and convicted for killing a pawn shop owner and was put to death. -McVeigh was in the same small towns on the same days as some gang of white supremecist bank robbers and some sketches show someone that looked like McVeigh with them -the motel owner where McVeigh stayed reported men going in and out who were not Nichols. I've never found this info elsewhere and only heard it on the radio in the truck so I am unsure of the reliability of this. |

... Doubtful, before April 19, 1995 ANFO could be produced "under the radar" so to speak. It's an easy formula with components readily available. Terry Nichols appeared to be the "brains" behind the plot. ... Three things really stick in my mind why I believe it was a small group that's been identified already. (1) The symbolic date the bombing took place (April 19, 1993, Conflagration of the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, TX) (2) The target (ATF & FBI) (3) McVeigh's testimony on why he did it ... If you knew you were facing the death sentence for a terrorist act you "successfully" pulled off, you'd be smug and go on record exactly why you did it. He did. |

McNichols wife was from the Phillipines and he went there a couple times.
The Phillipines have AL Quaida cells. This is the most I have seen to suggest an Islamic connection. |

It was the anniversary of the WACO fire, McViegh had been at Waco selling T shirts: "Is your Church Government Approved?" He was apparently very affected by Waco, and it is generally believed that he thought the Oklahoma City office of the FBI was in that building, it wasn't. Another connection was the FBI Scene Commander at Waco was from the Oklahoma City office.
My office at the time was about 4 blocks from the Murrah building. Do I believe there is a Islamic connection? No |

No, I read the book "American Terrorist", a documentary about McVeigh. He was a decorated soldier that served on a Bradley Fighting Vehicle in Desert Storm. McVeigh bombed the Murrah (SP?) building because he was upset about the federal governments "running" of indivduals lives. He thought that the Fed. gov. had over-stepped its abilities set forth in the constitution and he wanted to make a statement to change that. I do not believe at all that McVeigh collaborated with muslim terrorists.
Note: I do not condone McVeighs bombing in Oklahoma City nor do I mean to defend his actions. I do, however, think it is important to understand why a person who commited himself to serve his country would commit such an atrocity.

I remember that the Dallas Morning News had an interesting article about McVeigh that said that an associate in one of the extremist camps was interested in getting ahold of an airliner. Hmmmm....... Time to do some research at Belo.

Read this.
As a self-confessed "international importer and domestic transporter," Cary Gagan, 54, admits that he is "no choir boy." But neither is he a cold-blooded killer, he is quick to add. As a government informant with an immunity grant, he took every step he could to help the federal government stop the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, of which he had solid prior knowledge, but "they let it happen," says Gagan. "They" were the FBI, the United States Attorney, and many agents of the U. S. Marshals Service....... www.worldnewsstand.net/patshannan/2.htm Then this. Gagan's chronology of events. www.worldnewsstand.net/patshannan/3.htm Think what you will, but we've yet to see the surveilance video the FBI had bragged about? Video from across the street from the Murrah building which would lend credibility to one of the many theories on what actually happened. Why's that? HS1 |
