IN
THE most cynical smear to be perpetrated against writer
David Irving so far, early in 1996 international
Jewish organisations decided to link him with what was
possibly the worst crime inflicted on the American people
this century -- the truck-bombing of the Alfred P Murrah
Federal building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995 in
which 168 people including nineteen infants died.
In 1997 Timothy McVeigh, 28,
and Terry Nichols, 41, went on trial in Denver for this
crime. McVeigh was sentenced to death, Michols to life
imprisonment. | - Nov
