CITY SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO PETER and PUBLIC LIBRARY { I ISRAEL $2 5 . 0 0 / $ 3 6 . 5 0 CAN. N APRIL 19, 1995, in dowiffiiwn Oklahoma City, a bomb went off outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. One hundred and sixty-eight people, many of them children, were killed, and hundreds of others were wounded. was the worst case a It of domestic terrorism in the history oif the United States. Within hours, Timothy Jarr^s McV^eigh was arrested. Within a few days, Terry Lynn Nichols was also in custody. The case against them, as presented by the United States government, was uncomplicated, black and white in tone, and severely limited in foc^. It pointed the finger at these two men and these two men only. It was all so simple. Too simple. In a book that will challenge not only what America thinks about the bombing, but what thinks about it its own Federal government, Stephen Jones, chief defense counsel during the McVeigh trial, reveals what really hap- pened, not just on that terrible April morning, but before and after. Others Unknown reveals: r evidence that the Oklahoma City bombing plot could not have been exclusively the work of two men—any two men; evidence that the United States government may have had prior knowledge about the attack and failed to act on it—including confidential statements from an ATF informant who told them in advance about I the attack and an anonymous, phoned warning prior i to the blast; i S' evidence that from the moment the bomb exploded the United States government disregarded informa- tion that would have weakened thcur cases against Terry Nichols and Timothy McVeigh; vl possible links between Islamic terrorist Osama bin D — Laden the leading suspect in the recent bombings of the American Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania— 1 and Terry Nichols; ( C 0 M' I N U K n ON h \ C K F I, \ P) S.S.F.
