Complaint Details Iraq’s Means, Opportunity and Motive. Action Brought Under
the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996
In the Philippines as part of Project Bojinka, Ramzi Youssef, on behalf of Iraq, recruited
conspirators to attempt to simultaneously bomb five or more U.S. 747 aircraft over the
Pacific, using delayed timer tactics with many similarities to Barbouti’s 1988
bombing of Pan Am 103. Youssef also conceived of plans to highjack planes bound for the
United States in order to dive them, in suicide attacks, into U.S. targets like CIA
headquarters in Langley, Virginia, a tactic later adopted by Osama bin Laden. Youssef flew
frequently from Manila to Cebu City in the Philippines in order to recruit potential
terrorists at Southwest College in Cebu City. Plaintiffs assert that at some point in time
Ramzi Youssef recruited a willing convert in the person of Terry Nichols who
witnesses say went to the Philippines seeking technical help in learning to build a bomb.
Meetings between Terry Nichols and Ramzi Youssef were witnessed by a Filipino government
informant.
In March 1998, Timothy McVeigh wrote “Essay on Hypocrisy” from federal prison in
Colorado which defended Iraq’s right to “stockpile chemical or biological
weapons” because the U.S. had done so. The Pentagon asserts “McVeigh allegedly
collected Iraqi telephone numbers” prior to his arrest.
Prior to the Gulf War, Iraq had developed a covert network in the US to acquire materials
for weapons of mass destruction. Lawsuit claims individuals operating as Agents of the
Republic of Iraq took an active part in planning and financing bombing of Murrah
Building in Oklahoma City
Judicial Watch has filed suit against the Republic of Iraq on behalf of 14 survivors of
the April 19, 1995 bombing of the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, OK. Judicial
Watch’s co-counsel in this matter are John Michael Johnston, Esq. of Oklahoma City,
and Jay D. Adkisson, Esq. of Irvine, California.
The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, is brought
against Iraq, as a State Department designated terrorism sponsor, under the provisions of
the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, which addresses state sponsored
terrorism and has a specific provision for retroactive application. Judicial Watch and its
clients contend that other individuals, in addition to Timothy McVeigh and Terry
Nichols, were involved in the preparation for and execution of the attack
on the Murrah Building. These individuals were operating as agents of the Republic of Iraq
and took an active part in the planning, technical and/or financial activities of the
bombing plot. The complaint details the involvement and complicity of Iraq by both direct
and circumstantial evidence in classic application, i.e., means, opportunity, and motive.
The complaint cites reporting from Philippine intelligence and law enforcement sources
concerning meetings between convicted Murrah Building bombing accomplice Terry
Nichols and Ramzi Youssef, the mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing,
during Nichols’ travel to the Philippines between 1990 and 1994. Additional evidence
obtained under the Freedom of Information Act reveals Interpol’s efforts to apprehend
two additional Oklahoma City bombing suspects and information in the agency’s files
associating Ramzi Youssef with the attack.
“It’s time the whole story about the Oklahoma City bombing is revealed, and that
justice is done for the Iraqi’s state sponsorship of that brutal attack on American
citizens,” stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman.
“The survivors of the Murrah Building bombing and the people of Oklahoma City have
waited a long time for the whole, unvarnished truth to come out concerning this horrific
plot, and they won’t rest until that’s accomplished,” added attorney Mike
Johnston. (
