According to the prosecutors, McVeigh plotted the bombing in retaliation for the government's 1993 raid on the compound of the Branch Davidian religious sect near Waco, Texas. The Waco raid reportedly incensed McVeigh, already on the fringes of the antigovernment militia movement, who held the government responsible for the deaths of the roughly 80 people inside the compound. McVeigh believed his attack, timed on the second anniversary of the Waco raid. would inspire a popular uprising, prosecutor said.
