Remembering the Oklahoma City Bombing

The Oklahoma City Bombing occurred on April 19, 1995, when a truck bomb detonated outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, killing 168 people, including children. This act of domestic terrorism was carried out by Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, motivated by anti-government sentiments. It was the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in U.S. history and remains a somber reminder of the impact of extremism. The bombing led to significant changes in government policies regarding security and counter-terrorism, highlighting the importance of vigilance against domestic threats. Memorials now honor the victims and promote peace and healing.
