McVeigh-Iraq Connection Alleged
U.S. News & World Report has uncovered new, secret information concerning the Oklahoma City bombing. According to the October 29th issue of U.S. News, convicted bomber Timothy McVeigh (who was executed last June) may have been acting on behalf of Iraq when he detonated the Ryder truck bomb next to the Alfred P. Murrah Building. That, of course, is old news to readers of this magazine; our investigation over the past six years has yielded extensive evidence of Middle Eastern - and specifically Iraqi - involvement in the OKC attack.
In a short item entitled "McVeigh’s ghost" that appeared in Paul Bedard’s Washington Whispers column, U.S. News reported:
Some dismiss it as being akin to Elvis sightings, but a few top Defense officials think Oklahoma City bomber Tim McVeigh was an Iraqi agent. The theory stems from a never-before-reported allegation that McVeigh had allegedly collected Iraqi telephone numbers. Why haven’t we heard this before about the case of the executed McVeigh? Conspiracy theorists in the Pentagon think it’s part of a coverup.
THE NEW AMERICAN was not previously aware of evidence pertaining to McVeigh’s possession of Iraqi telephone numbers. It certainly did not come out during his trial or in any information released by the government. This matter and any related information pertaining to McVeigh’s alleged connections to Iraq or other foreign powers should be immediately investigated by appropriate committees of Congress. These top officials should be called to testify and ordered to produce any documentary evidence pertaining to this connection.
The evidence this magazine has accumulated points to the involvement of two separate "cells" in the OKC bombing. One was comprised of American citizens (and a German national, Andreas Strassmeir) involved with the Aryan Nations-linked rural Oklahoma compound known as "Elohim City." The other cell was comprised of Iraqis and others of Mideast extraction. In our February 19, 1996 issue, we reported: "The evidence we have gathered thus far (and are continuing to develop) strongly indicates that five or six Iraqis, who had come to Oklahoma under a controversial asylum program after the Persian Gulf War, were involved as co-conspirators with Timothy McVeigh in delivering the explosives-laden Ryder truck to the Murrah Building."
