Congress steps in to probe '95 bombing
April 06, 2002
Congress can no longer ignore the evidence that Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols had foreign help in blowing up the Oklahoma City federal building.
The House Government Reform Committee, chaired by Rep. Dan Burton, R-Ind., confirmed Thursday that it's launching an investigation into the April 19, 1995, blast that annihilated the nine-story Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, killing 168.
"We decided to do some investigating on this," Burton told me. "We want to start it now so that we have several months to uncover the truth." Burton is scheduled to rotate out of the chairmanship of the powerful government oversight committee at the end of 2002.
If Reform Committee lawyers discover that foreigners were involved in what had been the most devastating terrorist attack on U.S. soil prior to Sept. 11, Burton says he'll convene congressional hearings.
McVeigh's execution on July 11 at the federal prison in Terre Haute has failed to quell questions raised by witnesses, who say they saw McVeigh with other men before and the day of the bombing, in Oklahoma City and Junction City, Kan., where McVeigh had stayed in a hotel.
Neither McVeigh nor Nichols ever implicated anyone else, but their solidarity didn't convince the grand jury, which on Aug. 11, 1995, indicted "others unknown" along with McVeigh and Nichols in the plot.
At the heart of the Reform Committee's probe will be the impressive dossier compiled by former Oklahoma City KFOR-TV reporter Jayna Davis, who has worked tirelessly for nearly seven years gathering evidence about what happened.
Davis, a 1986 University of Texas class valedictorian, has put together reams of material and 23 witnesses, some of whom will testify they saw McVeigh with a former Iraqi soldier who lived in Oklahoma City at the time of the bombing. The former POW surrendered in the Gulf War and resettled in the United States from a detention camp in Saudi Arabia.
Though the U.S. government now dismisses theories of a John Doe No. 2, that was not the case at first. Immediately after the blast, the FBI put out an All-Points Bulletin for Middle Eastern-looking suspects fleeing the scene in a brown Chevy pickup with tinted windows and a bug shield.
John Doe 2, whom Oklahoma police were still diligently searching for more than two hours after the 9:02 a.m. blast, was later depicted in a composite sketch as a stocky man, with dark complexion and wearing a blue ball cap. He was not Nichols.
Though the FBI mysteriously dropped the APB later that day, public uneasiness persists about possible involvement of an olive-skinned John Doe 2. More than 10,000 tips about the figure poured into the Justice Department hotline set up immediately after the blast.
Burton's committee will draw on the wisdom of attorney David Schippers, the Clinton impeachment lawyer. While Schippers' workload with his Chicago law practice won't allow him to take the lead role in the Oklahoma bombing probe, he will be an important consultant, which will give credibility to the upcoming investigation.
The Government Reform Committee is moving at a time when suspicion of foreign involvement in the bombing is widening.
Last month, Judicial Watch, a Washington, D.C., public interest law firm, sued Iraq on behalf of 14 survivors of the Oklahoma City bombing. The group says it has evidence linking Terry Nichols to Philippine-based terrorist groups, convicted 1993 World Trade Center bombing mastermind Ramzi Yousef and Iraq.
A story in Tuesday's Manila Times supports those claims. In a death-bed interview at Basilan Community Hospital, Elmina Abdul told correspondent Dorian Zumel Sicat that her husband Edwin Angeles had met with Nichols and another unidentified American in 1994 at an abandoned Dole plant warehouse in South Cotabato to discuss "the bombing of specified targets and how to build bombs."
According to Abdul, who married Angeles in 1997, a year before the Philippine government undercover agent was murdered in Basilan, also at the meeting were Yousef, unidentified members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front and two Iraqi men.
Something here doesn't pass the smell test. Hopefully, Congress will get to the bottom of it
