Sources in History: Oklahoma City Bombing

This week, were going to look at another example of a primary source.  Attached below is testimony from Timothy McVeigh, who was convicted and executed for bombing the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in 1995, killing 168 people in an act of domestic terrorism.

In one page double-spaced, please answer the following questions:

1. What reasons does McVeigh give for bombing the Murrah building?

2. What parallels do McVeigh’s ideas have to today’s paramilitary groups?

3. What did you learn from this reading?

You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.
