BBC - International Terrorism (2008) Part 14 The Oklahoma Bomber

International Terrorism: The Global War on Terror

The terrorist is by no means a new actor on the world stage. However, thanks to startling developments in military and communications technology, this perennial threat to freedom and security has taken a quantum leap forward during the past thirty years. In many cases, these vicious and determined men and women have supplanted nation states on the globe's “most wanted” list! This extraordinary 26-episode series provides a comprehensive look at these modern masters of political murder and extortion. From the I.R.A. to al-Qaeda, Global Terror runs the gamut of groups that have pledged themselves to destroy the stability that we cling to so tenuously—examining their goals, their methods and their terrifying prospects for success!

Part 14: The Oklahoma Bomber

The Oklahoma Bomber looks at the events on the morning of 19 April 1995, when a massive bomb exploded outside a US government building in Oklahoma City. The blast, which could be heard and felt up to 55 miles away, reduced the building to rubble and killed 168 people, 19 of whom were children. In addition, more than 800 people were injured in the worst domestic attack in American history.
