...possible new angle is that the bombing was financed by a series of unsolved bank robberies throughout the Midwest; in some of these incidents pipe bombs were left at the scene. Other investigators have turned to Paulsen's Military Supply in Antigo, Wisconsin. When McVeigh was arrested in Perry, Oklahoma, he left the store's business card in the patrol car. The father-son Paulsens are gun traders and may deal in the small explosive devices needed to set off bombs. Most important, the authorities are pursuing a theory that the plot was hatched by McVeigh and some former Army...
...however, he is dedicated enough to his comrades and their cause to keep his mouth shut. Imprisoned at the El Reno Federal Correctional Institution in Oklahoma, McVeigh, when questioned, responds only with his name, his rank and his date of birth-obeying, as it happens, the instructions for pows in a manual published by the Michigan Militia. Even when confronted last week with photographs of the children carried from the crumpled Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building -- some bloody and numb with shock, others already dead -- McVeigh appeared unshaken. The accused bomber seems to have decided that he is a prisoner...
...criminal investigation into the Oklahoma City bombing may be proceeding without the cooperation of McVeigh, but it continues to lead to him. Last week U.S. magistrate Ronald Howland denied him bail and said "an indelible trail of evidence" linked McVeigh to the crime. Eyewitnesses place him near the scene of the bombing before the 9:02 a.m. blast on April 19. An fbi agent has testified that McVeigh's clothing tested positive for traces of explosive materials. With McVeigh in custody, the most urgent question facing federal agents is where else -- and to whom -- that trail leads. John...
...link exists between Army-owned explosive components and the tragedy in Oklahoma, and no active-duty soldier has been identified as a suspect," Pentagon spokesman Dennis Boxx said last Thursday. But some 25 members of the Army's Criminal Investigative Command were assisting the fbi in the search for McVeigh's accomplices. McVeigh spent his military career in a single 110-man unit-what the military once called a "cohort unit." Membership in such a unit meant that McVeigh went through basic training, on to Fort Riley and then to the Persian Gulf War with the same individuals. fbi agents...
...joke," said Mark Carter, a supply clerk with the Michigan National Guard, who testified before a congressional panel in November 1993 after he was caught peddling stolen military weapons. "I just drove home with whatever I wanted." Time has learned that investigators believe the fertilizer bomb in Oklahoma City was set off by nonelectric igniters and blasting caps used in some military demolition work. These devices do not require batteries and can be tossed into a backpack and safely carried into the field. Investigators are trying to determine whether the bombers obtained the devices from a military base, either...
