DALLAS: Defense notes obtained by the Dallas Morning News reportedly show that Timothy McVeigh told his attorneys that he alone drove the rental truck used in the Oklahoma City bombing, and that he choose to detonate the device in the morning in hopes of injuring and killing as many people as possible in order get his point across to the government. The documents, a compilation of interviews between McVeigh and his defense team, also reveal how McVeigh and Terry Nichols built the bomb and how they funded the operation with robberies. McVeigh's attorney, Stephen Jones, called the reports fakes...
...Hebrew. His religious retreat has its own liturgy, its own calendar (the year begins with the spring equinox) and its own clock (the day begins at noon). The city's guest list over the years has been a veritable Who's Who of the radical right. Tim McVeigh called Elohim two weeks before the Oklahoma bombing. Some reports link him to former Elohim resident Andreas Strassmeir, a mysterious German weapons buff with neo-Nazi ties. And up a wooded slope in the settlement, marked by a simple white cross, is the grave of Richard Wayne Snell, a fanatic who allegedly...
Howe's charges, if they are substantiated, may bolster McVeigh's defense. But it is unclear if his lawyer Stephen Jones will risk calling her to the stand. Her testimony could be effectively attacked by prosecutors, citing ATF records that show she was fired as an informant because of erratic behavior and unreliability. Still, Jones believes the government has proof that Strassmeir and Mahon were involved in a bombing plot and was "obligated" to disclose it. At any rate, in the wake of recent reports about faulty FBI lab procedures, the government does not need Howe's tales to muddy...
...Timothy McVeigh involved with bank robbers indicted last week in Philadelphia? Was the bombing of Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta plotted in the Northwest? Last week two of the country's most infamous bombings were tenuously linked to crimes allegedly wrought by white supremacists. The connections, mostly speculative, have intrigued investigators and provided conspiracy theorists with much to ponder...
...investigators, hoping a grand jury will be impaneled to probe further. "All roads to Oklahoma City lead to Elohim City," says Wilburn, referring to a white-supremacist compound in the eastern part of the state. A telephone record he has collected (it was made public by the government) shows McVeigh calling Elohim City two weeks before the bombing. Although he offers no hard evidence, Wilburn contends that McVeigh had visited the camp between June 1993 and the bombing and was close to several residents, including Andreas Strassmeir, a German with alleged neo-Nazi links. Wilburn also claims that McVeigh knew...
