History

Historical Context

On April 19 1995 anti-government extremist Timothy McVeigh detonated a truck bomb outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, killing 168 people. The attack, spurred by anger over the 1992 Ruby Ridge and 1993 Waco sieges, triggered the FBI’s largest post-JFK investigation and led Congress to pass the 1996 Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act, tightening security for federal facilities.
