According to the documents, he said the device was made with 5,400 pounds of ammonium nitrate fertilizer, six hundred pounds more than the government's estimate, and that it was mixed with $3000 worth of racing fuel to produce a bomb of exceptional power. McVeigh added that the scheme was financed at least partially by the 1994 robbery of a gun dealer in Arkansas, which was carried out by Terry Nichols. But that wasn't the end of the robberies.
