New FBI documents on Oklahoma City bombing.
The FBI has produced 340 previously secret documents on the Oklahoma City bombing. (*)
The Southern Poverty Law Center, a non-profit and non-governmental organization, apparently was involved in the investigation of white supremacists in conjunction with the FBI. (†)
An allegation is that 48 hours prior to th Oklahoma City bombing, the SPLC and the FBI received word that the bombing was to take place. It is not known whether the documents substantiate that claim.
The documents were apparently released by the FBI in respose to a FOIA suit filed by Jesse Trentadue, an attorney who was the brother of Kenneth Trentadue, who died in prison in 1995. Charges have been made that the government killed Kenneth Trentadue in a savage beating. The charges are that Kenneth Trentadue was mistakenly thought to have been an associate of Timothy McVeigh’s in a string of bank robberies, and that his killing was part of a coverup of what the FBI knew and when they knew it.
