Arab Connection To the Ok City Bombing

[sdalton]

I listened to AM 950 on 8-15-2002. I believe it was the Pat Gray show. He had some reporters and writers who have done extensive investigations and interviews with many eyewitnesses regarding the Ok City Bombing.

The short version is that they layed out a step by step scenario of several ex-Republic national guards of Saddam Hussan who were seen with McVee days before and the day of the Bombing. Independant eyewitnesses placed a certain one in the van that carried the explosives that day, with McVee. It also placed this person in a brown getaway pickup truck minutes be after the bombing, speeding away from the bombing area, with three other ex-RepublicNational Guard members. After the conviction of McVee, this Arab Started working for the airport where the planes originated from for the Twin Tower Crashes.

My memory is sketchy, there was much more facts and details involved. I think one of these people that was on the show might have written a book.



If anyone knows more details about this please let us know.

sounds like the beginnings of a good urban legend

But who knows? Stranger things have happened.



There is an urban legend circulating that all the cabs (usually driven by arabic immigrants) and shops owned buy arabic people were absent and/or closed the morning of the 11th but it appears to be just that, a legend.

I don't think we'll ever find out the whole story about the OK city bombing, McVee took it to his grave and took it fast. Must have set the record for the least time between conviction and execution in modern times, doesn't that strike you as odd? It also didn't seem like he had enough gripes against the gov't to do what he did, something else was involved. As for Arabs, seems like OK City Federal Building would be a puny target. My 2¢

Thanks Neal. It was Glenn Beck who further discussed it that afternoon, and reaffirmed the validity of some of the expert speakers on the other show. I just couldnt remember names. Glenn Beck is a good show to listen to.

Makes you think

I have thought the same as illflem. I was watching the History channel a while back about the assassination of President Kennedy. Kennedy had signed an executive order to pull the troops out of Viet Nam and come home. Johnson, a day before Kennedy's assassination rescinded that order. Go figure.

There was a syndicated radio show in the Dallas/Ft Worth market some years ago hosted by Chuck Harder. He wrote a book along with J. D. Cash who wrote (writes?) for the McCurtain (Oklahoma) Daily Gazette. The title of the book is "Deathtrap Oklahoma City. "



From 5 year old memories:



Their thesis was that the bombing was connected to the Midwest Bank Robbers who were caught and convicted some years later. The money from the robberies was used to fund their activities such as the bombing of the Murrah building. Their base was a white supremisist settlement called Elohim City. Atleast two federal agents had infiltrated the group and one of them (Andy Strassmier) actually planned the bombing. The plan was that the BATF would ride in at the last minute and save the day. Andy fled back to his native Germany when the heat started. The other agent, Carol Howe was hung out to dry after trying to tell her side of the story.



It was interesting reading. The book is basically a compilation of the articles J. D. Cash wrote. Only bad part is some of the info is repeated many times.
