Bombing of Alfred Murrah feberal Building
Two men by the names of Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols bombed the Alfred Murrah Federal Building. This was an extremely deadly attack, killing 168 people and injuring 600. These two men were a part of the white nationalist group and had strong anti-government beliefs. This event is significant because its impact fueled the government to create stronger anti-terrorism legislation. As a result, President Clinton created the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996.
