On 19 April 1995, 29 year old Gulf war veteran rented a truck and packed it with about 2,300 kg of explosive material consisting of ammonium nitrate, an agricultural fertiliser, and nitromethane, a highly volatile motor-racing fuel. 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.
