Affidavit: McVeigh had high-level help
According to Oklahoma bombing conspirator, ranking officials were
involved in the attack
The Salt Lake Tribune
By Pamela Manson
Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols says a high-
ranking FBI official "apparently" was directing Timothy
McVeigh in the plot to blow up a government building and
might have changed the original target of the attack,
according to a new affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in
Utah.
The official and other conspirators are being protected by
the federal government "in a cover-up to escape its
responsibility for the loss of life in Oklahoma," Nichols
claims in a Feb. 9 affidavit.
Documents that supposedly help back up his allegations
have been sealed to protect information in them, such as
Social Security numbers and dates of birth.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Utah had no comment on the
allegations. The FBI and Justice Department in Washington,
D.C., also declined comment.
Nichols does not say what motive the government would have
to be involved in the bombing.
The affidavit was filed in a lawsuit brought by Salt Lake
City attorney Jesse Trentadue, who believes his brother's
death in a federal prison was linked to the Oklahoma City
bombing. The suit, which seeks documents from the FBI under
the federal Freedom of Information Act, alleges that
authorities mistook Kenneth Trentadue for a bombing
conspirator and that guards killed him in an interrogation
that got out of hand.
Trentadue's death a few months after the April 19, 1995,
bombing was ruled a suicide after several investigations.
The government has adamantly denied any
wrongdoing in the death.
In his affidavit, Nichols says he wants to bring closure to
the survivors and families of the attack on the Alfred B.
Murrah Federal Building, which took 168 lives. He alleges he
wrote then-Attorney General John Ashcroft in 2004, offering
to help identify all parties who played a role in the
bombing but never got a reply.
Nichols is serving a life sentence at the U.S. Penitentiary
Administrative Maximum Facility in Florence, Colo. McVeigh,
who carried out the bombing, was executed in 2001.
McVeigh and Nichols were the only defendants indicted in the
bombing. However, Nichols alleges others were involved.
McVeigh told him he was recruited for undercover missions
while serving in the military, according to Nichols. He says
he learned sometime in 1995 that there had been a change in
bombing target and that McVeigh was upset by that.
"There, in what I believe was an accidental slip of the
tongue, McVeigh revealed the identity of a high-ranking FBI
official who was apparently directing McVeigh in the bomb
plot," Nichols says in the affidavit.
Nichols also says that McVeigh threatened him and his family
to force him to rob Roger Moore, an Arkansas gun dealer, of
weapons and explosives. He later learned the robbery was
staged so Moore, who was in on the phony heist, could deny
any knowledge of the bombing plot if the stolen items were
traced back to him, Nichols claims. He adds that Moore
allegedly told his attorney that he would not be prosecuted
in connection with the bombing because he was a "protected
witness." Moore could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
In addition, Nichols says McVeigh must have had help
building the bomb. The device he and McVeigh built the
day before the bombing did not resemble the one that
ultimately was used, Nichols says, and "displayed a level
of expertise and sophistication" that neither man had.
