OKC BOMBING FALLOUT
Oklahoma City terrorism report released
6-year investigation concludes government 'concealed' truth

After six years in the making, the Oklahoma City Bombing Investigation Committee,
headed up by former Oklahoma
state representative Charles Key, has announced the long-awaited release of its final
report, which differs
sharply and dramatically from the official conclusions of the federal government.
The lengthy report, "Final Report on the Bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building
April 19, 1995," was
written, said Key, to help Americans finally "get to the truth" about what really
happened April 19, 1995 -
the day the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building was destroyed in Oklahoma City, Okla.
Timothy McVeigh, who was executed June 11 by the federal government in Terre Haute,
Ind., for his role in the
bombing, and accomplice Terry Nichols, who received a life sentence for his role in
1997, were not alone in
planning and carrying out the bombing, the exhaustive report concludes.
Major points outlined in the committee's report include:
Evidence suggesting the federal government had prior knowledge that the bombing was
going to occur, and where;
Evidence others besides McVeigh and Nichols had a hand in planning the attack,
securing the materials for the
explosives, and carrying the bombing out;
Materials detailing the government's early assertion that other unexploded bombs were
found by authorities
immediately after the first bomb went off;
Failures by federal law and court officials before, during and after the bombing.
"The purpose of our report is to document the truth," Key told WorldNetDaily. "We, as
so many others do,
believe that facts regarding other perpetrators, prior knowledge, and the number of
explosive devices used to
damage the Murrah Building have been concealed."
Key, who said McVeigh was not exonerated in the report, noted that when he began his
investigation he hoped to
accomplish three main tasks: empanel an Oklahoma grand jury to look into the bombing;
lobby Congress to hold
open hearings on the bombing and the government's handling of the case afterwards; and
finally, produce a
comprehensive report about his findings.
"Most of that was accomplished," Key said, noting that several congressmen, on his six
trips to Washington,
D.C., had urged him to put his findings in a final report.
In a separate development, Key said he is still trying to arrange a meeting with
Attorney General John
Ashcroft to discuss "improprieties" in the case that he uncovered while the OKC
committee's investigation was
still underway.
Key sent Ashcroft a letter June 1 - fully 10 days before McVeigh was executed - to
request a meeting with the
attorney general, but was rebuffed. The former state lawmaker said he has since sent
two more letters, the
most recent one in mid-July, requesting a meeting, but so far to no avail.
Because of the Justice Department's inaction, Key said he may try a different tactic.
"We are looking at taking a group -- victims, witnesses, surviving family members --
to D.C. for a press
conference and to meet with congressmen and senators and House judiciary staff
investigators that I have been
in contact with," he told WND.
During the weeks preceding McVeigh's June execution, WorldNetDaily carried several
stories profiling Key and
some of the major findings of his committee.
The Oklahoma City Bombing Investigation Committee's comprehensive "Final Report on the
Bombing of the Alfred
P. Murrah Building April 18, 1995" is 576 pages, including 50 color pages, and is
available at WorldNetDaily's
online store.
