Immediately after the bombing of the Murrah Building, an APB was put out--and recorded by local news agencies, then played on live television--telling police to look for three men fleeing in a brown truck. The men were said to be olive-skinned, possibly Arabic. Later, ties were made to a man formerly in the Iraqi Republican Guard--and here it grows murky as lawsuits and back-room manuevering obscured the relevance of this part of the story. The lawsuits (against the reporter who exposed the Iraqi) were actually dismissed, so perhaps there was more to this than most people think.

Clinton's strike again.

good news. time to put up or shut up.

On this show, he again asserted that he has the evidence to prove his claims. Moreover, he will be presenting this evidence in court. It will prove, he insists, that Khalid Mohammed worked for Iraq to achieve not only the 9/11 attacks, but also the OKC federal building bombing and the first bombing of the WTC in 1993. Iraq sponsored all of these attacks, according to Johnston. He said the evidence he's presenting will show that Khalid Mohammed worked for Iraq for years, even before he worked for AlQaeda.

Camera saw figure in bomb truck

Oklahoma City video is unclear, but it may show John Doe No. 2.

The Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY - Videotape from a surveillance camera captured a glimpse of a shadowy figure in the passenger seat of a bomb-laden Ryder truck minutes before it blew apart the federal building, a federal law enforcement source says.

The footage is not clear enough to identify anyone, but it adds to the body of evidence that a third figure - perhaps the long-sought John Doe No. 2 - took part in the attack with two other persons, the source said.

``There's a shape in there, but they can't see a face,'' the source said of footage, which was taken by a camera on a nearby apartment building. The camera picked up the shadowy passenger about three minutes before the bomb went off April 19 at the Murrah Federal Building.

The government says Timothy McVeigh drove to Oklahoma City in the truck, parked it in front of the federal building and made his getaway in a yellow Mercury Marquis. But prosecutors have given no indication that Terry Nichols, also charged in the case, was in Oklahoma City the day of the bombing.

Although a federal grand jury indicted only McVeigh and Nichols on murder and conspiracy charges, agents scoured the country for a third conspirator, known only as John Doe No. 2, who was portrayed in sketches distributed shortly after the blast.

Authorities later said that an innocent Army private resembled the sketches. But the drawings were never withdrawn. Moreover, the indictment accuses McVeigh and Nichols of acting with ``others unknown,'' and agents were still hunting for other conspirators.

A call Friday to Assistant U.S. Attorney Steve Mullins, a spokesman for the prosecution team, was not returned immediately.

Prosecutors repeatedly refused to discuss surveillance tape or other evidence in the case.

McVeigh's lawyer, Stephen Jones, said he had not seen the tape and could not comment.

A senior federal official in Washington said recently that agents currently searching did not expect to turn up another key player in the plot.

The law enforcement source, however, said many investigators remained convinced that John Doe No. 2 was still at large.

McVeigh and Nichols go on trial May 17.

Probe: U.S. Knew of Jet Terror Plots

She also noted that CIA Director George J. Tenet has declined to declassify information on two issues looked at by the inquiry: References to intelligence agencies supplying information to the White House, and details of an al-Qaida leader involved in the attacks. That leader is believed to be Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind

Just pinging for general interest...

My amateur, personal "conspiracy theory" is that McVey may have been a dupe manipulated
via Nichols...who took a number of trips to The Phillipines...without his Phillipina
wife, if reports are true.

A link to Osama and Co. via the Abu Sayyeff in The Phillipines doesn't seem
too far a stretch.

And even McVey's attorney (Stephen Jones) and the Federal Judge Maitsch (sp?)
have neve abandoned their belief that McVey was part of a larger conspiracy.

Even with all this speculation...I'll never forget hearing the first radio
reports of the OKC Bombing on KTOK, minutes after the blast.
When the reporterette on the scene said that a civilian rescuer didn't want to talk
about what he'd seen after running into the wreckage...I knew it was very, very bad...
