Why did Timothy McVeigh bomb the Oklahoma City federal building?
At the trial of Timothy McVeigh, the US Government asserted that McVeigh's motivation for the attack was to avenge the deaths two years earlier of Branch Davidians near Waco, Texas, whom he believed had been murdered by agents of the federal government.
By his own admission, he was seeking to punish the US Government for their actions at Waco and Ruby Ridge. Oklahoma City was viewed as the American Heartland, the Muir Building housed the ATF and DEA offices, lacked physical security, was built adjacent to the street which provided proximity for his truck bomb to be effective and would minimize civilian deaths. His plan had paid little attention to the presence of a children's nursery (or he may have valued it as a psychological benefit). Because he had personally scouted out the building it is difficult to accept his statement that he did not know of the children's presence.
