According to the complaint filed by the FBI on Friday night, McVeigh was known by a co-worker to hold "extreme right-wing views ... and was particularly agitated about the conduct of the Federal Government at Waco, Texas, in 1993"--so agitated, in fact, that he had visited the site.

The name on the license was Robert D. Kling of 428 Maple Drive, Omaha...
