Timothy McVeigh

Timothy McVeigh was a domestic terrorist responsible for the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, which killed 168 people and injured over 600. A former U.S. Army soldier, McVeigh was motivated by his opposition to the federal government, particularly its handling of events like the Waco siege. He used a truck bomb made of explosives to target the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. McVeigh was arrested shortly after the bombing, tried, and executed in 2001. His actions highlighted issues of extremism, domestic terrorism, and the impact of political violence in the United States.
