                        T The Oklahoma Bomber Was a Neo-Nazi             i

                           e
                        Up until September 11, 2001, the worst terrorist attack the
                   American people had witnessed was that of on federal building
                   in Oklahoma by Timothy McVeigh, as a result of which 168 peo-
                   ple lost their lives, including a number of children. What is in-
                   teresting about that bombing is that Timothy McVeigh was both
                   the member of a deviant cult as well as a neo-Nazi.
                        McVeigh claimed to have carried out that bombing in re-
                   venge for David Koresh and his followers who burned to death
                   on a farm in 1993. According to McVeigh, Koresh and the cult
                   members did not kill themselves, but were actually murdered
                   by the American state. He therefore decided to take revenge on
                   that state, and planned to bomb the people working in its name
                   in the Federal Building.
                   Exactly two years after
                   the deaths of Koresh and
                   his cult followers, on the
                   second anniversary in
                   fact, McVeigh cold-blood-
                   edly parked a lorry full of
                      The bombing in Oklahoma
                      by Timothy McVeigh made
                     the cover of Time magazine.

                     page and the one after show
                    scenes from the aftermath of
                                   the attack.
