Terrorism & the Oklahoma City Bombing

Date

Hosted byGeorge Noory

Investigative journalist Jayna Davis shared startling evidence that Terry Nichols and Timothy McVeigh did not act alone in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, and had connections to terrorists from the Middle East. A number of men settled in Oklahoma City, that she described as "false defectors" from Iraq, and Davis believes that McVeigh was targeted to team up with them because they shared a common hatred of the U.S.

The "third terrorist" who was seen with McVeigh (view related animation/image) was identified by Davis as an Iraqi sleeper agent who she said lacked an alibi for the morning of the bombing. Though he sued her over the accusation, a court ruled in favor of Davis. She also outlined an alarming connection between Nichols and al Qaeda agents working out of the Philippines.

And yet when Davis said she took her voluminous amounts of evidence and witness testimony to the FBI, they initially refused to accept her documents. Later, in 1999, when they took her materials to be used in the court case against Nichols, her "documents simply disappeared" and were not used in the trial. One of the reasons Davis believes her evidence wasn't incorporated was that the Justice Department wanted to present McVeigh and Nichols as masterminds rather than mules. She predicted that the next terrorist attack in the US will probably be a "softer target" such as a theater, hospital, or shopping mall and like the Oklahoma City bombing, will take place in Middle America.
