Documents cite mystery video in Oklahoma City bombing

04/20/2004

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A Secret Service document written shortly after the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing described security video footage of the attack and witness testimony that suggested Timothy McVeigh may have had accomplices at the scene.

 

"Security video tapes from the area show the truck detonation 3 minutes and 6 seconds after the suspects exited the truck," the Secret Service reported six days after the attack on a log of agents' activities and evidence in the Oklahoma investigation.

 

The government has insisted McVeigh drove the truck himself and that it never had any video of the bombing or the scene of the Alfred P. Murrah building in the minutes before the April 19, 1995, explosion. ..........

 

Other documents obtained by AP show the Secret Service in late 1995 gave prosecutors several computer disks of enhanced digital photographs of the Murrah building, intelligence files on several subjects in the investigation and a file detailing an internal affairs inquiry concerning an agent who reconstructed key phone evidence against McVeigh.

 

"These abstract sheets are sensitive documents which we have protected from disclosure in the past," said a Secret Service letter that recounted discussions in late 1995 with federal prosecutors on what evidence would be turned over to defense lawyers.

 

Lawyers for Nichols say they have never been given the security video, photo disks or internal investigative file referenced in the documents.

 

The trial judge has threatened to dismiss the death penalty case if evidence was withheld. McVeigh was executed in 2001 on a separate federal conviction. Nichols was sentenced to life in prison on federal charges before being tried by the state this year.

 

The government has maintained for years that McVeigh parked the Ryder rental truck carrying a massive fertilizer bomb outside the Murrah building and left alone in a getaway car he parked around the corner. The bombing killed more than 160 people.

 

The only video prosecutors introduced at trial showed the Ryder truck without any visible passengers as it passed a security camera inside a high-rise apartment building a block away from the Murrah building.

 

But the Secret Service log reported on April 24 and April 25, 1995, that there was security footage showing the Ryder truck pulling up to the Murrah building. The log does not say where such video came from or who possessed it.

 

A log entry on April 25 states that the security footage allowed agents to determine the time that elapsed between suspects leaving the truck and the explosion.

 

An entry a day earlier on the same log reported that the security video was consistent with a witness' account that he saw McVeigh's getaway car in the lead before a woman guided the truck to its final parking spot in front of the Murrah building.

 

"A witness to the explosion named Grossman claimed to have seen a pale yellow Mercury car with a Ryder truck behind it pulling up to the federal building," the log said. The witness "further claimed to have seen a woman on the corner waving to the truck."

 

A Secret Service agent named McNally "noted that this fact is significant due to the fact that the security video shows the Ryder truck pulling up to the Federal Building and then pausing (7 to 10 seconds) before resuming into the slot in front of the building," the log said. "It is speculated that the woman was signaling the truck when a slot became available."

 

Defenbaugh said the FBI had talked to several witnesses suggesting two people had left the truck, but prosecutors never introduced the scenario at trial because it couldn't be corroborated. That's why a new security video would be significant, he said.

 

"It would have taken the investigation in a very specific direction," Defenbaugh said. "Rather than having to go down an eight-lane highway during rush hour, we would have gone down a faster path with just two or four lanes."

 

In addition to the witness mentioned in the Secret Service document, a woman working in Murrah's Social Security office who was rescued from the rubble and a driver outside the building both reported to the FBI seeing two men leave the truck, according to government documents.

 

The Secret Service log contained other information about the case -- including that McVeigh made 30 calls to an Illinois gun dealer in the months before the attacks to seek dynamite and that the gun dealer subsequently failed a lie detector test. The Secret Service lost six employees in McVeigh's bombing, the single largest loss in agency history.

 

Nichols' attorneys last week asked the judge to dismiss the case on grounds the government withheld evidence, including the security video footage.

 

New documents obtained by AP show the Secret Service provided prosecutors other evidence that may not have been provided to defense lawyers, including a file showing the Secret Service agent who reconstructed crucial phone evidence against McVeigh was subjected to an internal affairs investigation and eventually cleared for her conduct in the case.

 

FBI officials say that file details allegations the agent wrongly collected grand jury-subpoenaed phone information about McVeigh's calls without FBI knowledge, and kept it for weeks while she produced analysis that helped the investigation.

 

The internal investigation caused complications for prosecutors. They decided it tainted the agent as a witness and they chose instead to hire an outside expert to re-do the phone analysis for trial, officials said.

 

Bopp said the Secret Service did nothing wrong.

 

"The Secret Service worked cooperatively with the FBI and other federal state and local law enforcement throughout the investigation," Bopp said. "The expertise of the Secret Service on electronic crimes and telecommunications provided unique and timely information to the ongoing investigation."

Gun collector describes robbery that allegedly financed Oklahoma City bombing

By Tim Talley

ASSOCIATED PRESS

2:49 p.m. April 14, 2004

 

McALESTER, Okla. – A gun collector testified Wednesday that a man wearing a ski mask and military-style clothing bound him and covered his eyes with duct tape during a robbery that prosecutors say financed the Oklahoma City bombing. A D V E R T I S E M E N T

 

Roger E. Moore testified at bombing conspirator Terry Nichols' state murder trial that the gunman took dozens of rifles and handguns, $8,700 in cash, and coins and jewels in the 1994 robbery at his home near Hot Springs, Ark.

 

Moore said he could not identify the gunman but is convinced he was not executed bomber Timothy McVeigh, who had stayed with Moore several times. The gunman was shorter and stockier than McVeigh and had darker skin, he said.

and this insanity...

 

'3rd Terrorist' soars to No. 11 on Amazon

Book lays out Iraq, al-Qaida connection to OKC bombing

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Posted: April 19, 2004

3:00 p.m. Eastern

 

On the ninth anniversary of the terrorist attack on the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, a new book describing a Middle East connection to the crime has soared to No. 11 on Amazon.com's best-sellers list.

 

In her new book, "The Third Terrorist: The Middle Eastern Connection to the Oklahoma City Bombing," published by WND Books, investigative reporter Jayna Davis sets out a disturbing scenario of law-enforcement failures and suggests the Sept. 11 attacks possibly could have been prevented if evidence of an Iraqi and al-Qaida link to OKC had been pursued.

 

Davis documents a compelling body of evidence that illustrates how Iraqi intelligence agents infiltrated the United States to recruit and assist executed murderer Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols in the April 19, 1995, bombing – evidence the FBI refused to receive from Davis and investigate in 1997. Among the many revelations are court records that suggest one of McVeigh's and Nichols's accused Middle Eastern handlers had foreknowledge of the 9-11 plot.

 

 

ok kids..

it's been awhile since i familiarised myself with that

whole sketchy event. i read the first article yesterday, and my

immediate feeling was...hmm...then i wondered about

how originally there were supposedly dark skinned men

involved, which then became dreaded and hated iraqi's at

some point..where did that info come from?

maybe my memory is failing me on this..

whatever happened, the vaults need to be wrenched

open on it. stinks like waco.

I don't understand why this is coming out now. 10 years later. Some kind of terrorist craze. Exactly where the hell did this info come from? Sounds ridiculous to me. Connection to Iraqis AND al queda? Fucking sounds stupid to me. Terry and Tim are some fucking redneck nazi militia men and that's it. Just because all of the above hate the government does not necessarily mean they are working together.

it's getting a ton of attention because the government's ONLY other suspect is about to be sentenced to DEATH...

 

mcveigh and nichols ARE/were redneck dimwit nazis..

excetly why i have never believed they could have pulled it off alone.

NO WAY.

they were too dumb.

 

as for the middle east connection, i agree, and i mentioned in the first post, it seems retarded...

 

but i have heard plenty in the years since the bombing about mcveigh's death row confessionals to other inmates about not being solely responsible, i have also read that there are supremacy groups who are suspect..

 

that's a lot of dead innocent people

including children

these questions should be answered, and the only way they will be is if people make noise.

i don't know a lot about physical chemistry.

 

but, when you have a massive amount of energy released suddenly due to a chemical reaction, you create an explosion..

 

that's part of the reason the bomb was so big, it wasn't a highly efficient release of energy, like what you might see in a nuclear weapon, or even tnt for that matter..

 

TNT explosions have to do with the energy released when the benzene ring is busted..it's a ridiculously stable structure, so when you attach three nitrile groups to it, also with very powerful bond structures, you get a lot of energy, both heat and light, released when the thing is broken apart..

 

i'm not sure how fertilizer combusts, but i'm thinking it's along the same lines of breaking powerful nitrogen bonds..

 

i also know that the physics of explosions is not entirely understood..yet.

here's a conspiracy theory website that says that no way could it have only been a fertilizer bomb, and claims to have quotes from a retired military general who agreed..

 

http://www.orwelltoday.com/okpartin.shtml

 

 

oh shit...

this website doesa better job of refuting the fertilizer theory..

 

http://verdade.no.sapo.pt/law/mcveigh_fbi.html

 

an excerpt:

 

The Khobar Towers terrorist bombing on 25 June 1996, a cold-blooded act of murder, was a tragic and costly event of unprecedented magnitude, involving a high degree of sophistication. It was an act of war where terrorists detonated a bomb with an estimated likely yield of more than 20,000 pounds of TNT-equivalent explosivesoutside the fence of the American occupied sector of Khobar Towers. The explosion killed 19 service members and injured hundreds more. It also injured many Saudi Arabian citizens and third country nationals (TCNs) and severely damaged or destroyed a significant amount of property. This was the second bombing in Saudi Arabia in less than a year, a country where tens of thousands of Americans had lived safely for decades prior to these attacks.

 

the khobar towers:

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that the force exerted by an unshaped charge is inversely proportional to the SQUARE of the distance, and therefore it is simply impossible for a fertilizer bomb outside the building to have severed three or four columns. That's why there must have been another three or four bombs, presumably strapped to the support columns in the basement. Nothing else could have severed the rebar and pulverized the concrete, which is what brought the building down.

I think McVeigh and Nichols were capable of that. One of them was actually an explosives expert in the army. Besides that if you live in michigan they practically issue the anarchist cookbook to you. I believe the fertilizer is nitrogen based. I think the other major component of the bomb was a rocket fuel. Which alot of the muscle heads in michigan like to put in their muscle cars. Maybe JC5 ( I think that's what it's called). I think this is propaganda from the psychological operations branch of the department of homeland security or something. As if they need more power. They killed McVeigh without this much controversy. And he was considered the leader.

 

 

* the website noted above fails to account for pressure which is fundamental in explosives.

I don't want to argue about this whole issue but, when are people gonna start giving rednecks more credit? I have seen some dumb ass stump fuckers rig/engineer some pretty insane and impressive stuff... dumb and mechanically inclined are 2 different things, I guess... still...

i dont think packing a ryder truck full of common explosives and parking in front of a building takes a criminal mastermind.

 

but the articles bring up some interesting points (thanks for bolding the important lines).

 

its only natural to ask, why withold the evidence?

yeah, rednecks deserve more credit

amd yeah, the bombing wasn't exactly rocket science

and the nazi shit wasn't my idea, it was something i read awhile back, that the bombing was funded in part by a white supremacist group.

 

it's just another example of a situation that wrapped up way too conveniently.

 

i'm not usually a conspiracy theorist..

 

 

thanks for the input anyway.

 

we'll never know how it really went down.

I never meant to make any generalizations about rednecks. Perhaps I was misinterpreted in the context I used it in.

I've also read some of McVeigh's prison writings and several articles on this and it's safe to say he was a white supremicist. I don't think there was a huge support network behind him either. Especially al queda or "iraqis". Sounds to me like scrabbling for justification of the war.

It wasn't an overly expensive or sophisticated bomb. If an M100, which is half a stick of dynamite, can blow an empty fuel drum about 100ft in the air, I can see how a ryder truck full of fertilizer and jet fuel can collapse half a building.

So why is this a big deal all of a sudden? I can only assume it's propaganda.

yeah, but, the reason I said this, and didn't want to explain last night, but I'm still gonna try to conserve the words...

 

Now, I didn't even read the sites yet, it's been a long week and promises more but... based on my teenage hooliganism, and generally accepted principles...

 

It kinda is rocket science in the sense that... though people are projecting theories about how that amount of explosive couldn't create that size blast... here's what I get from this...

 

1st, make no mistake, even a samll fertilizer bomb can be pretty powerful... second, the explosion is based on a chemical reaction...

 

Let's talk firecrackers for a sec... the reason they go POP is because of the tight paper around the gunpowder, right?

 

Now, when you burn the fuse to a firecracker, it burns all up MOSTLY before it even hits the gunpowder inside... and then the fuse is gone...

 

In a fert. bomb it's a chemical fuse/reaction... the fuse is essentially a constant as long as both chemicals are present right?

 

So, if you put a bunch of barrels in a truck... and then throw a bunch more fertilizer or 'reactant' all around the inside of the truck... as you set the fuse, you loosen the top of one barrel AND dump the most reactant into that barrel...

 

With all chemical reactions (even the instantaneous ones) there is some amount of time between the beginning and the end of the reaction... SO... if you portion out the chems in the right order, you could have one bubbly open barrel spitting chems into and around the box of the van at the same time as all the other barrels are sealed tight like a firecracker with reactions of their own going on... and with the right combo that fuse time could be easily calculated to give about 15-25 minutes from when you set the fuse to when you park it, jump out and flee...

 

as I said, you just gotta portion out the chems correctly... with something this size, and to provide ample fuse time you would probably mix a tad light just to make sure you don't blow yourself up BUT, in my uninformed opinion, we're talking about the combination of POUNDS of material in each barrel... so, properly done you can actually have the BOX explode at nearly the same time as the barrels... OR, also, if the barrels go first and eplode into an area that is also ripe with the same reactans you could be looking at a bad ass chain reaction... and THAT would be a pretty huge bomb...

 

 

 

 

So... also, just saying, look at the damage caused by truck bombs in Beiruit and that one a couple years back in Africa I forget where for the moment, after the USS Cole and connected to Al Queada... Jordan?

 

Anyway...
