Timothy McVeigh bombed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995, as a response to what he viewed as government overreach and tyranny, particularly in reaction to the Waco Siege and the Ruby Ridge incident. He aimed to inspire a violent revolution against the federal government by targeting a federal facility, resulting in the deaths of 168 people and injuring hundreds more. McVeigh's actions were driven by a deep-seated anti-government ideology and a desire to provoke a larger movement against perceived injustices.

What is the weakest bomb in the world?

The Cuban Altomicular bomb. It was a bomb designed by Cuba for war emergencies but when they tested it in the desert, all that came out was a sound. Second Answer: The least powerful bombs would be the hand grenade, some of the land mines have low volatility but some are capable of damaging tanks and other military vehicles and some plastic explosives are small and do not do the damage of larger bombs. You can consider the hand grenade the weakest since it can only injure people within a 15 to 20 feet radius and has more concussive power than power to disintegrate or blow people apart. The Cuban Altomicular bomb would be considered a dud and not a useful bomb as the grenade is usable.
