He then detonated it in the street in front of the Alfred P Murrah federal building, a US government office complex. 168 were killed in the explosion, including 19 children attending a day-care centre in the building. 800 more people were injured, while over 300 buildings in the surrounding area were destroyed or seriously damaged.
