The Freeh teletype also revealed that Tim McVeigh, executed in 2001 for the murder of 168 people in Oklahoma City, had telephoned Elohim City asking that German national Andreas Strassmeir provide more assistance in completing the bomb which devastated the Alfred P. Murrah building. The...

Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., chairman of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee of the International Relations Committee, said his committee's investigation will focus on whether those responsible for the Oklahoma City bombing had help from a foreign source.

Nichols' comments tie McVeigh firmly to Elohim City By J.D. Cash During a jailhouse interview Monday in Colorado with U.S. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., Terry L. Nichols admitted traveling to the outskirts of Elohim City with Timothy McVeigh in October of 1993.

On the surface there would seem to be little to unite the Aryan racialists of the neo-Nazi movement with the terrorists of radical Islam. To the neo-Nazis, Muslims are almost all members of ``inferior`` races; and to the Islamic terrorists, the neo-Nazis are almost without exception either atheists or members of fringe quasi-Christian sects. But the reality is that there has been close cooperation between Muslim extremists and Fascists ever since the founding of the Nazi movement in the 1920`s. For all of their differences, Muslim extremists and Nazis have always been united by a common group of beliefs and...

FBI Suspected McVeigh Link to Robbers JOHN SOLOMON Associated Press WASHINGTON - The FBI believed Timothy McVeigh tried to recruit additional help in the days before the deadly 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and gathered evidence that white supremacist bank robbers may have become involved, according to government documents never introduced at McVeigh's trial. The retired FBI chief of the Oklahoma City investigation, Dan Defenbaugh, said he was unaware of some evidence obtained by The Associated Press and that the investigation should be reopened to determine whether the robbery gang was linked to McVeigh. The evidence never shared with Defenbaugh's investigators...

Defense lawyers will be allowed to call witnesses associated with the Elohim City white supremacist compound in the state murder trial of Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols, a judge ruled Tuesday. Judge Steven Taylor rejected a prosecution motion to disallow 30 witnesses, including some federal government witnesses and various people associated with white supremacist groups and the Elohim City compound.

A series of reports by Associated Press reporter John Solomon earlier this year said that the FBI failed...
