Congress report rebukes FBI for Oklahoma City investigation

(Washington-AP) December 24, 2006 - A congressional panel says the FBI didn't fully investigate information suggesting other suspects may have helped Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols with the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.

A House subcommittee will release its findings as early as Wednesday after a two-year review of the investigation.

The subcommittee's report will conclude there is no doubt McVeigh and Nichols were the main perpetrators. It also discloses for the first time that Nichols confirmed to House investigators he participated in the robbery of an Arkansas gun dealer that provided the proceeds for the attack.

The subcommittee says Justice Department officials exhibited a mindset of hindering congressional oversight and did not assist the investigation fully.

An FBI spokesman says he hasn't read the report, but adds that the bureau "conducted a thorough and complete investigation" into the bombing.
