AIM Report: An Islamist Connection to OKC Bombing
By Accuracy In Media: Wes Vernon (04/25/07)
The mainstream media have gone AWOL again - this time by missing the complete story on the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. There are leads suggesting the bombing that killed 168 innocent American men, women, and children had been ordered by Saddam Hussein - then in power in Iraq, and possibly with the help of other Middle East terrorists.
Politically, the cover-up is bipartisan—spanning two administrations—Clinton and Bush 43. Political interests, with the spectator-like acquiescence of the major media, did not want it known there is evidence that Timothy McVeigh (executed in June of 2001) and Terry Nichols (now rotting in prison) had help from foreign sources.
Big Media Not Interested
Ignoring a huge story like this is bad enough. But at least two establishment outlets—the New York Times and CBS—affirmatively squelched it, albeit in different ways. The Times shut down an investigation that was hot on the trail of the story. CBS did not follow up on clear evidence of Middle East involvement. Why?
The media had built a scenario on the mass murder as the work of the "angry white males" stereotype. During TV coverage at the time, one would think that at any minute, network reporters themselves would soon be dragging Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh hogtied in front of the cameras as the culprits. After all, bombers Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were white males, obviously quite angry and anti-government. Ergo the rhetoric that conservative talk radio and the new Gingrich Republican Congress had inspired them to bomb a federal building.
"Lily Whites" Had Help
Nearly a dozen years later, as time was running out on the Republican 109th Congress, Chairman Dana Rohrabacher of the House International Relations Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee released a report just before Christmas, 2006, citing strong circumstantial evidence pointing to Saddam's evil regime as complicit in the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building April 19, 1995.
In the early hours following the bombing, the FBI put out sketches on TV screens and front pages everywhere of "John Doe One [Clearly McVeigh]" and "John Doe Two [a Middle Eastern looking young man]."
Suddenly the FBI yanked the John Doe Two picture, saying that person did not exist. However, the recent Rohrabacher report bluntly stated that John Doe Two resembled one Hussain Al-Hussaini, one of several former soldiers ("refugees") in the Iraqi army who were living and working together in the Oklahoma City area.
Hussaini had been identified and tied to the bombing years earlier by Jayna Davis, an award-winning investigative reporter for Oklahoma City TV station KFOR.
