Revenge for Waco

The terrorist attack was prepared and carried out by former US military personnel. Timothy McVeigh, the main ideologist and perpetrator of the terrorist attack, and Terry Nichols met in 1988 during a course for a young US Army soldier. Michael Fortier, McVeigh's accomplice, was his roommate. They were united by anti-government views, dissatisfaction with gun laws and an interest in survivalism. But McVeigh’s main motive in preparing the terrorist attack was the actions of the FBI and a number of other services in the tragic events in Ruby Ridge and Waco. What both cases have in common is that, due to insufficient intelligence investigations, civilians were besieged by the feds and killed. McVeigh was present in Waco during the siege of Mount Carmel. The siege of the Branch Davidian sect lasted 51 days, ending with the death of 76 members of the sect, including its leader. The reason for the federal action was false information about violations of weapons laws and rumors about the rape of minors by the head of the sect. McVeigh was shocked by the events in Waco and decided to take revenge on the FBI for the deaths by blowing up a federal building.

Siege of Waco

He chose the location of the explosion carefully. At first, McVeigh only wanted to destroy the building, but then he decided that if people died, the message would be more convincing. Here's what he said about sacrifice: “Think of people as stormtroopers from Star Wars.” Individually they may be innocent, but they are guilty of working for the Evil Empire." He wanted the building to house at least two of the three enforcement agencies: the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), or the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). If there were other departments there, that would be a bonus for McVeigh. He wanted to minimize losses among people not associated with the government, even rejecting one of the options because there was a flower shop on the ground floor of the building.

McVeigh sought revenge for the events in Waco and Ruby Ridge

McVeigh chose the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, which housed 14 federal agencies. However, McVeigh did not take into account that in addition to the feds, the building housed a kindergarten, a social security service and a credit union. The 9-story building was chosen because of its glass façade, which in the event of an explosion would not cause much damage to nearby buildings, and the large parking lot in front of it would allow high-quality photographs to be taken for propaganda purposes. The bombing was planned for April 19, 1995, the second anniversary of the Waco events.

Preparation

McVeigh and Nichols bought or stole the necessary components to make the bomb and stored them in rented barns. In 1994, McVeigh bought two sets of explosives and Nichols bought forty 50 pound bags of ammonium nitrate. McVeigh asked Fortier for help in preparation, but he refused, but also did not report him to the intelligence services. McVeigh spent no more than $5,000 on the entire operation—purchasing bomb components, fertilizer, and renting a truck. In October, he showed Fortier and his wife a diagram of the bomb he planned to build. It contained more than 2.26 tons of ammonium nitrate, 907 kg of liquid nitromethane, 158 kg of dynamite analogue. The total weight of the bomb was planned to be more than 3 tons. On April 17 and 18, he and Nichols took components from the warehouse and headed to Geary County National Lakeshore, where they assembled the bomb and attached it to a truck.


Timothy McVeigh

McVeigh increased the amount of explosives on the driver's side so that if necessary, he could detonate them with a shot from his Glock. In addition, he added a dual ignition system on the cab side, ran two fuses into the body and connected them to different blasting caps in the body. The fuses were supposed to detonate the bombs, and they were supposed to detonate the barrels with explosives installed in a special order. Having completed the construction of the truck bomb, the conspirators dispersed: McVeigh drove the truck to Junction City, and Nichols drove to his hometown of Herington.

Explosion

McVeigh wanted to detonate the bomb at 11 a.m., but at dawn on April 19 he changed his mind and moved it to 9 a.m. He drove a truck loaded with nearly five tons of explosives to the Marra building. He was carrying pages from The Turner Diaries, in which white supremacists started a revolution by blowing up the FBI headquarters at 9:15 am.


Marra building after the explosion

He entered Oklahoma City at 8:50 a.m., and at 8:57 a.m., McVeigh was spotted on apartment building security cameras driving toward the Marr building. At the same time, McVeigh lit a five-minute fuse; three minutes later, a block from the target, he lit a two-minute fuse. He then parked the truck in the unloading area of ​​the underground parking lot, directly below the kindergarten, and moved into another vehicle. He threw away the truck key a few blocks later. At 9:02 the truck went up in the air, a third of the building was destroyed by the explosion. A crater 9 m wide and 2.4 m deep was formed. The explosion destroyed or damaged 324 buildings within a 16-block radius, and glass was broken in the nearest 258 buildings. The explosion destroyed 86 cars, which caused secondary explosions. Total damage was estimated at $652 million. The equivalent explosion power was 2300 kg of TNT. 168 people were killed, including 19 children under 6 years of age, and more than 680 people were injured. The scale of this terrorist attack surpassed the Lockerbie disaster.


Rescuers on the ruins of a building

Investigation and trial

The FBI initially put forward three theories about who was responsible for the attack - international terrorists, drug cartels who were taking revenge on DEA agents, and neo-Nazis. McVeigh was arrested an hour and a half after the explosion. He was stopped on the highway for having no license plates and carrying an illegal weapon. In addition, he was found with a business card with the inscription “TNT at 5 dollars per checker. We need more." He listed his brother Nichols' address as his home address.

McVeigh was executed only 6 years after the Oklahoma City bombing

The FBI launched a formal investigation known as OKBOMB. 900 specialists were involved in it, and all were headed by agent Weldon Kennedy. Timothy McVeigh's trial began on April 24, 1997. The defense asked for a life sentence, but on June 2, McVeigh was sentenced to death. Nichols was given life without review, and Fortier received 12 years in prison and a fine. In May 2001, the FBI announced it was withholding more than 3,000 documents from the defense, but they did not prove McVeigh's innocence. After US President George W. Bush approved the execution of McVeigh, the terrorist was given a lethal injection on June 11, 2001 in Terre Haute prison. McVeigh's execution was the first federal execution in 38 years.

The organizers of the most powerful terrorist attack were Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. As a result of a strong explosion, the multi-story Albert Mara federal building collapsed, partially damaging 324 neighboring houses and 86 cars.

Before the events of September 11, 2001, this terrorist attack was the largest in American history. As a result of the car bomb explosion, 168 people were killed, including about 700 people were injured. The explosion occurred at exactly 9:20 a.m., and events in memory of the victims are held annually near the site of the tragedy.

The official investigation became the largest criminal case in American history: FBI agents conducted 28 thousand interviews, collected over three tons of material evidence and analyzed more than 15 million documents.

The motive for the crime of McVeigh and Nichols was anti-government views: this is how the criminals intended to take revenge government for the events in Waco by bombing a federal building. In 1997, both were tried: McVeigh was sentenced to death, Nichols to life in prison.

The terrorist attack prompted the US government to urgently adopt a new law on the protection of federal buildings, thanks to which more than 60 potential terrorist attacks in the United States were prevented between 1995 and 2005. In April 2000, a memorial complex in memory of the victims of the terrorist attack was opened on the site of the Alfred Marr building.

The Americans supplied Bin Laden with weapons, information (including satellite reconnaissance results), and propaganda materials for distribution throughout Afghanistan and the USSR. You could say they fought the war at the hands of Afghan rebels. In 1989, Soviet troops left Afghanistan, where civil war continued between rival mujahideen factions and tribal associations.

1981 - Zambia. America really did not like the government of this country, because... it did not support the much-loved US apartheid in South Africa.

1981 - The United States shoots down 2 Libyan planes. This terrorist attack was aimed at destabilizing the anti-American government of M. Gadaffi.

The extermination of hundreds of peasants in the south of the country has been documented. Training and financing of the regime are at the expense of the Americans.

1985 - Honduras. The United States sends torture specialists and military advisers there for the Nicaraguan Contras, who are notorious for their brutality and sophisticated torture. America's cooperation with powerful drug traffickers. The Honduran government receives $231 million in compensation.

Unprovoked US attack on an Iranian ship in international waters, destruction of an Iranian oil platform.

1986 - Colombia. American support for the pro-American regime - “to fight drugs” a lot of military equipment is transferred to Colombia after the Colombian government showed its loyalty to the United States: in “social cleansing”, i.e. while destroying trade union leaders and members of any more or less significant movements and organizations, peasants and unwanted politicians, it “cleansed” the country of anti-American and anti-government elements. Brutal torture was actively used, for example, from 1986 to 1988. The Workers' Organization Center lost 230 people, almost all of whom were found tortured to death. In just six months of the “purge” (198, over 3,000 people were killed, after which America declared that “Colombia has a democratic form of government and does not significantly violate internationally recognized human rights.” From 1988 to 1992, about 9,500 people were killed for political reasons (of which 1,000 were members of the only independent political party, the Patriotic Union), the figure does not include 313 killed peasants; 830 political activists are listed as missing. By 1994, the number of those killed for political reasons had already risen to 20,000. They are no longer at all consistent with the mythical "war on drugs" the following incidents: In 2001, the Uwa Indian tribe tried to peacefully protest to prevent the American company Occidental Petroleum from extracting oil on its territory. The company, of course, did not ask their permission, but simply unleashed government troops on civilians. The result in the Valle region del Cauca, two Uva villages were attacked, 18 people were killed, 9 of them children. A similar incident occurred in 1998 in Santa Domingo.

In addition, America and England are providing Iraq with weapons of mass destruction, including the deadly gas that poisoned 6,000 civilians in the Kurdish village of Halabja. It was this incident that Bush cited in pre-war rhetoric as a justification for the American aggression of 2003. Of course, he “forgot” to mention that chemical weapons were provided by America, which wanted to change the anti-American regime of Iran.

1987 - 1994 - Haiti. For 30 years, the United States supported the Duvalier family dictatorship here until the reformist priest Aristide spoke out against it. Meanwhile, the CIA was conducting covert work with death squads and drug traffickers. The White House pretended to support Aristide's return to power after his overthrow in 1991.

But only after receiving firm guarantees that he will not help the poor at the expense of the rich and will follow the mainstream of “free market economics.”

1988 - The CIA bombs a Pan American plane over Scotland, killing hundreds of Americans. This incident was attributed to Arab terrorists. It turned out that such fuses are produced in America and are sold exclusively to the CIA, and not to Libya.

When the USS Vincennes returned to its base in California, a huge cheering crowd greeted it with banners and balloons, a Navy brass band played marches on the embankment, and bravura music blasted from the ship's speakers at full blast. The warships standing in the roadstead saluted the heroes with artillery salvos." Instead of apologizing, Bush Sr. said: “I will never apologize for the United States. I don’t care about the facts.” In addition, this year the United States is bombing Iranian oil plants.

1990 - support for the military coup in Haiti. The popular and legitimately elected president Jean-Bertrand Aristide was thrown out, but the people began to actively demand him back.

1990 - The naval blockade of Iraq begins.

1990 - Bulgaria. America spends $1.5 million to finance opponents of the Bulgarian Socialist Party during elections. However, the BSP wins.

Before and after these elections, the US provides him with military assistance to fight the legitimate government. The conflict killed 650,000 people. The official reason for supporting the rebels is the fight against the communist government. In 2002, America finally received the desired benefits for its companies, and Savimbi became a burden. The United States demanded that he stop hostilities, but he refused. As one American diplomat said on this matter: “The problem with dolls is that they don’t always move when you pull the string.” Following a tip from American intelligence, the “doll” was found and destroyed by the Angolan government.

It even came to the point of military clashes with Hussein’s troops, because The Americans promised air support to the National Congress. True, military assistance never came. The terrorist attacks were directed against civilians, the Americans hoped in this way to arouse popular anger towards the Hussein regime, which allows all this. But the regime did not allow this for long, and by 1996, most of the INA members were destroyed. The INA was also not allowed into the new government of Iraq.

1994 - 1996 - Haiti. Blockade directed against the military government; troops reinstate President Aristide 3 years after the coup.

1994 - Rwanda. The story is dark, much remains to be discovered, but for now we can say the following. Under the leadership of CIA agent Jonas Savimbi, approx. 800 thousand people.

We are talking about ethnic cleansing - the extermination of the Hutu people.
