History

Historical Context

On April 19 1995, Timothy McVeigh detonated a truck bomb at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, killing 168 and injuring hundreds. He claimed the attack retaliated against the 1993 Waco siege and the 1992 Ruby Ridge standoff. The bombing, the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in U.S. history, prompted stronger federal prosecution of anti-government violence, a framework now applied to recent threats against Judge Ashlee Cole and attorneys.
