Nichols Says Moore Provided Explosives for Oklahoma City
2005-07-15
From IntelWire, an article by J. M. Berger
For the first time, Terry Nichols has gone on the record to accuse a third conspirator of taking part in the Oklahoma City bombing, a Florida gun dealer who sold weapons in close proximity to an early al Qaeda sleeper cell in Fort Lauderdale during the early 1990s. Terry Nichols claimed in a letter that Roger E. Moore, aka Bob Miller, helped provide explosive material to be used in the bombing, according to the L.A. Times. .... Moore denied the allegation ....

Moore, who also used the alias Bob Miller, worked the gun show circuit and ran an ammunition business called The American Assault Co., sometimes referred to as "The Candy Store." Moore also owned a home and a boat-repair business in Fort Lauderdale, where he purportedly first met Timothy McVeigh. Moore claimed he was robbed at gunpoint in November 1994, a crime which state and federal prosecutors sought to pin on Nichols. ....

At the end of December 1992, Timothy McVeigh abruptly quit his last known job as a security guard in Lockport, NY, according to numerous sources. He paid off a large gambling debt and drove directly to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., where he took part in a gun show in early January, according to trial testimony and related documents. Foreign terrorists used the gun show, which was held at the Fort Lauderdale Armory, to buy weapons on at least one occasion. ....

#4  "He [McViegh] paid off a large gambling debt" Hmm. Where did he get the money for that?

I still can't get past the fact that the source for the explosives recently found in Nichols' basement was Gregory Scarpa, Jr. I wonder if Nichols isn't trying to protect his son. After all, Edwin Angeles ended up dead after he opened his mouth.

#2  From the headline I thought Michael Moore was involved. You know, Michigan connection and willingness to drum up a story and all.

#1  The Feds wrapped up the investigation too tight. The loose ends should be tied up by a federal commission study. I don't know a single person who believes that we have the whole truth.
