Also at the same time Vogel received the Middle Eastern connection evidence in OKC, former OKC bombing inspector for the FBI, Danny Defenbaugh of the Dallas FBI office was using Dallas police officers to track AlQaeda , Hamas and Abu Nidal terrorists in and out of Dallas and across the world. This was reported by Valerie Williams of Channel 8 in Dallas in 1998 and 1999. I have the transcript of the Channel 8 broadcast and I spoke to Valerie Williams about the Channel 8 coverage in 1999. I also last week spoke to Byron Harris at Channel 8 who once again confirmed the Defenbaugh coverage by Channel 8. Harris did a story on Channel 8 about the Middle Eastern connections to the OKC bombing in March 2002. Channel 8’s coverage has been excellent and outstanding in my opinion

We know of at least one matter that David Koresh had investigated in hopes of keeping the BATF from causing him any further legal problems after he was found not guilty in his first court case: the BATF [then called ATTU] involvement in the JFK investigation in Dallas in November of 1963.

I wonder if the involvement and direction of Middle Eastern terrorists by FBI/BATF personnel, either as a rogue operation or under orders from Washington, would have been a further matter of inquiry for him. It would certainly explain why Koresh had to be killed on the spot before he could ever reach a courtroom, along with as many of the witnesses to whom he might have spilled the beans, and why the structures and any documentation he had gathered had to be burned to the ground.

Thank you so much for sharing the theory, archy!

And thank you for all the information, OKCSubmariner!

I still lean to the WMD theory as the best fit for the evidence at Waco; however, it appears to me that there was ME involvement in OKC and it needs to be fully explored - especially in light of the current war on terrorism.

If Koresh knew something about ME terrorists (or anything else), why not take him out directly? Or was somebody trying to get two birds with one stone?

Similarly, what changed in the middle of April that the decision to go in with the tanks was made? The only thing that comes to mind is the Davidians were almost out of water and would have to come out.
