The OKC Bombing Coverup, 30 Years Later
Thirty years ago, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, was rocked by one of the deadliest attacks on U.S. soil. On the morning of April 19, 1995, devastating explosions tore through the Alfred P. Murrah Building, killing 168 people, 19 of them children, and injuring many more.
Despite early contradictory reports, the official story remains to this day that a Ryder moving truck loaded with some 4,800 pounds of ammonium nitrate and fuel oil (ANFO), driven and parked by one Timothy McVeigh, who had an accomplice in Kansas named Terry Nichols, was used to carry out the act. But the three most important elements of that story — one bomb explosion detonated by one driver who carried out a surprise lethal attack — are almost assuredly wrong. Worse, a mountain of evidence suggests the official story’s inaccuracy is the result of a coverup that included some complicity by elements within the federal government.
The New American magazine produced some of the most in-depth and contrarian reporting on the OKC bombing. TNA senior editor William F. Jasper spoke to numerous experts and witnesses on the ground, and he pored over piles of documents in a quest to bring about as much clarity and truth as he could about what happened that day.
