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.

Foreign terrorists used the gun show, which was held at the Fort Lauderdale Armory, to buy weapons on at least one occasion. .... |
