The Oklahoma City bombing, which occurred on April 19, 1995, was carried out by Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. They used a rented Ryder truck filled with a powerful fertilizer-based explosive known as ANFO (ammonium nitrate fuel oil) to target the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. The bomb was detonated at 9:02 AM, resulting in the deaths of 168 people and significant destruction in the surrounding area. The attack was motivated by McVeigh's opposition to the federal government, particularly in response to the Waco Siege and the Ruby Ridge incident.
