The 3rd terrorist: Mideast tie to OKC bombing

Could the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995 have had a jihadist element? So says a new book. From WND, with thanks to Nicolei:

Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were not the lone conspirators in the Oklahoma City bombing but were part of a greater scheme involving Islamic terrorists and at least one provable link to Iraq, according to a new release by WND Books.

Backed by stunning evidence, author Jayna Davis explains in detail the complete, and so far untold, story behind the failed investigation in The Third Terrorist: The Middle Eastern Connection to the Oklahoma City Bombing."

The investigative reporter who first broke the story of the Middle East connection, Davis shows why the FBI closed the door, what further evidence exists to prove the Iraqi connection, why it has been ignored and what makes it more relevant now than ever.

Told with a gripping narrative style and vetted by men such as former CIA director James Woolsey, Davis's piercing account is the first book to set the record straight about what really happened in the bombing that killed nearly 170 people in a few short seconds April 19, 1995.

Last April, Davis' reporting on the Oklahoma City bombing was vindicated when the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed a lawsuit filed against her after finding "defendants did not recklessly disregard the truth" in reporting on an Iraqi soldier's alleged involvement in the bombing.

"After eight years of oppressive litigation, the courts have vindicated my work ethic as a dedicated journalist," Davis told WorldNetDaily at the time. "The lawsuit was obviously designed to silence a legitimate investigation into Middle Eastern complicity in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing."

In an interview with WND in October 2001, attorney David Schippers, who prosecuted the House of Representatives' impeachment case against Bill Clinton, said his examination of the evidence Davis presented him was conclusive.

"I am thoroughly convinced that there was a dead-bang Middle Eastern connection in the Oklahoma City bombing," he said.

Although I am not familiar with this book, there is a short but interesting discussion about the 3rd OC bomber in Peter Lance's "1000 Years For Revenge" (Pgs 308-318, a book which is well worth reading in any event.

The OC bombing is the poster child for the "anti-racial profiling" movement and, like the edited video in the Rodney King arrest (see Lou Cannon's Official Negligence), if the truth is that there is a Middle Eastern connection, we can be assured that every possible step will be taken to avoid it becoming commonly known. This, of course, comes from the same crowd which is so shocked by the "lies" in Iraq (WMD).

Possible. Compare the pictures of the Muhr building bombing to those of the terrorist attack on a U.S. Air Force base near Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. (Google it. I don't want to be accused of leading anyone to conclusions.) Many have wondered where Mcveigh got the money and the training to build the bomb.

Oh what a lot of drivel. I used to think some of the discussion here was intelligent.
