The Oklahoma City Bombing & the Undeniable Connection to Middle Eastern Terrorism by Douglas J. Hagmann, Director In the interest of everyone's time, I am going to be very direct � perhaps to the point of being rudely abrupt. Please look at the blue box with a number of days, hours and minutes counting down to April 19, 2005 that appears on the right hand portion of this page. Now, look at the picture below it. That is the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City after the bomb that exploded almost ten years ago; well, you can count down yourself to the exact anniversary of the blast with the help of our clock. That blast took 171 lives � 168 were men, women and children, and three were unborn children. I have spent a large portion of the last three years researching, investigating and studying radical Islamic based terrorism and based on my findings, and based on the fruits of one of the best, if not THE best non-law enforcement conducted investigations I have ever read, I have absolutely no doubt that there was a radical Islamic Middle Eastern component deeply involved in that blast. It is unnecessary to outline the reasons on which this conclusion is based, as Jayna Davis, author of The Third Terrorist has done a perfect job in that area. In fact, a flawless job. I was permitted the enviable opportunity to review much of her investigative work and findings. Without hesitation, I would like to see a Congressional Commission, as suggested in the news article reprinted below, conduct an extensive review of her findings � as long as they are committed to finding the truth, wherever it leads. Based on what I have seen, I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever of a Middle Eastern connection to this bombing. I could be more specific, but Ms. Davis has already done so. Her detractors, if any, and those who have suggested the involvement of a domestic supremacy group, are either deluding themselves or have not seen the clear and convincing evidence. Ladies and gentlemen, please look at the countdown clock at the right � and the building - again. Those who have the power to convene and conduct a meaningful inquiry � not some dog and pony show � owe it to the 171 innocents who perished on that day to reveal to the American public once and for all the Middle Eastern, radical Islamic connection. The clock is ticking not only to the tenth anniversary of that fateful day, but most assuredly, to another such day of equally and perhaps more tragic consequences � even by those who continue to live and work among us. LINK: Jayna Davis: The Third Terrorist RELATED: Report: Lawmaker Seeks New OKC Bomb Probe By: JIM MYERS World Washington Bureau Publication Date: 03/22/2005; Page A1 of News Tulsa World (Reprinted with permission) WASHINGTON -- A California lawmaker is expected to use his congressional subcommittee to open another investigation into the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, even though key Oklahomans have discouraged him from launching such hearings. Republican Rep. Dana Rohrabacher reportedly wants to look into allegations that others besides Timothy McVeigh, who has been executed for the terrorist attack, and Terry Nichols, who is serving a life sentence for it, were involved and whether federal officials participated in a cover-up. Rohrabacher already has discussed his plan with former Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating, U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., and U.S. Rep. Ernest Istook, R-Okla. Both Keating and Istook have discouraged such hearings. Inhofe could not be reached for comment. Rohrabacher is chairman of the House International Relations Committee's Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations. His spokeswoman refused Monday to confirm that the congressman was considering such hearings, although earlier she reportedly had provided that confirmation to KTOK, an Oklahoma City radio station. Apparently Rohrabacher became interested in the Oklahoma City bombing after hearing about former Oklahoma City television reporter Jayna Davis' book on the attack. For years Davis has insisted that Middle Eastern men, including Iraqis, were involved in the bombing. The bombing at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995, killed 168 people. Keating, who was governor at the time, said Monday that he recently met with Rohrabacher at the congressman's request. "The impression I had before and after my conversation was that he intended to have some forum, whether it was just asking for information or a formal hearing," Keating said. He said he discouraged Rohrabacher from moving ahead with his plan. He sounded especially troubled by one theory Rohrabacher suggested that McVeigh and Nichols were trained to make explosives by the FBI, then somehow got away from their handlers and carried out the plot to bomb the federal building in Oklahoma City. The theory goes on to include a cover-up by the FBI to hide its involvement.. Keating, a former FBI agent, U.S. attorney and top-ranking official at the U.S. Department of Justice, said he warned Rohrabacher that his panel could come off looking "rather silly" if he bases its hearings on such a theory. "I told him, 'With all due respect, I don't think you know how agents work,' " he said. "These agents had friends who were killed," he said, referring to the federal government agents and employees who died in the attack. "It makes absolutely no sense." Keating said state and local law enforcement officials would never have gone along with such a cover-up. "(We) would have scratched the eyes out of anyone who had anything to do with this," he said, recalling the rage Oklahomans across the state felt over the bombing. Keating said he reminded Rohrabacher that the statute of limitations never runs out in a murder case and that the Oklahoma City bombing case will remain open. If anyone has credible information about the involvement of others, he said, that information should be handed over to the proper authorities. "Some of these theories are not helpful," Keating said. Micah Leydorf, Istook's spokeswoman, confirmed that the congressman talked with Rohrabacher and also discouraged him from moving forward with his investigation. "It was his impression that the investigation was to be based on material that has already been investigated," Leydorf said. Inhofe's session with Rohrabacher was confirmed by Danny Finnerty, who said the senator was not available for comment. CREDIT: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------ Yahoo!
