After a decade of silence, Terry L. Nichols, who was convicted in the Oklahoma City bombings, has accused a third man of being an accomplice who provided some of the explosives used to kill 168 people at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building 10 years ago. Nichols, in a letter written from his cell at the Supermax prison in Colorado, said Arkansas gun collector Roger Moore donated so-called binary explosives, made up of two components, to bomber Timothy J. McVeigh that were used in Oklahoma City, as well as additional bomb components that recently were found in Nichols' former home in Kansas.
The claim that a third man — in addition to McVeigh and Nichols — was involved in the plot comes as a California congressman has begun pressing for answers to lingering questions about what, until Sept. 11, 2001, had been the worst case of domestic terrorism in the United States.
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, chairman of the investigative arm of the House Committee on International Relations, has been collecting new evidence in the bombing and said he would announce soon whether to open formal hearings into the April 19, 1995, tragedy. He believes Nichols' knowledge about other potential conspirators is central to his investigation, especially since the components found in March in a crawl space below Nichols' former home remained undetected for nearly a decade. The congressman said it was important to determine whether others were involved beyond Nichols and McVeigh, two Army pals who became antigovernment zealots.
"That this mass murder of Americans was accomplished by two disgruntled veterans acting alone seems to be the conclusion reached by those in authority," Rohrabacher said recently on the House floor, referring to the FBI's investigation of the bombing.
"However," Rohrabacher said, "there are some unsettling loose ends and unanswered questions."

Still, this hardly vindicates the view that Arabs, Iraqis, or al-Qaeda were involved. Indeed, it takes us further away from any Middle East involvement.
Gee, it does, doesn't it? :)
A government building, a bombing, an anti-American....Really doesn't take us away from the Usama and middle east mentality and MO. I was always sorry they executed him because maybe someday, just maybe, he'd tell us the secrets that he took to his grave.
Someone else knows what McVeigh knew.
I'm sure. The dame that sat on the 9-11 committee shut down the OC bombing incident. Jamie something??
And I am convinced that they are hidden by and in the government.
Gorelick! What a name.
Ironic, huh!!
"Arkansas gun collector Roger Moore donated so-called binary explosives, made up of two components, to bomber Timothy J. McVeigh that were used in Oklahoma City, as well as additional bomb components that recently were found in Nichols' former home in Kansas."
Would someone please refresh my memory. What state was Bill Clinton born in, raised in, became governor in and left a trail of dead people who opposed him?
It is a horribly disgusting thought... anyone licking anything on all Gore.
Oh Dave.....I just love it when you point something like this out to us. Ya still got it!!
We have been assuming that what Burger stole was tied to events just before 9-11. But if they were regarding OC and a tie to terrorism, then there was a BIG coverup.
Try that question, "Who was president when 'x' happened?" with liberals you know. It drives them up a wall when they are trying to blame us for something that happened during the Clintoon's reign of terror.
I know these sounds really far fetched, but I have to ask it…
Who is Karen Anderson?
Could she be the owner of that famous severed left leg?
I have an appointment with Dr. Torture the Dentist this a.m., so I’ll check back later.
Thanks for the ping!
Not really.
Nichols claims to have converted to Christianity while in custody. If so, revealing what he knows would be steps toward his confession.
Also, Nichols has a son and a wife. He may want to clear his name by doing the right thing in order for his son and wife to have a better life.
Karen Anderson was or is Roger Moore's girlfriend. She and Moore owned American Assault, the gun business that traveled to shows and sold exotic stuff. They met McVeigh at a Florida show. She also had ties to Strassmeir and Colbern, the chemist from Arizona who was questioned early in the investigation. Her list of guns stolen in that Moore robbery also contained a gun that Nichols had owned for quite a while, making her list of robbery items very suspect. These people testified at both the McVeigh and Nichols trials and gave very evasive testimony.
