Mcveigh Blasts Fbi

Timothy McVeigh blamed the FBI for the fire at the Branch Davidian compound that caused the “slow, torturous deaths” of families and said the public was duped because it never saw the children’s “charred remains,” according to his letter to a newspaper made public Tuesday.

The weekly Oklahoma Gazette released the letter to be excerpted in Thursday’s edition as jury selection crawled along in McVeigh’s trial in the Oklahoma City bombing trial.

“The public never saw the Davidians’ home video of their cute babies, adorable children, loving mothers or protective fathers,” McVeigh wrote.

“Nor did they see pictures of the charred remains of children’s bodies. Therefore, they didn’t care when these families died a slow, torturous death as they were gassed and burned alive at the hands of the FBI.”

Prosecutors have suggested that McVeigh’s anger over the standoff near Waco, Texas, may be a possible motive for the bombing, which occurred on the second anniversary of the siege.
