| IN THE most cynical smear to be perpetrated against writer David Irving so far, early in 1996 international Jewish organisations decided to link him with what was possibly the worst crime inflicted on the American people this century — the truck-bombing of the Alfred P Murrah Federal building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995 in which 168 people including nineteen infants died.
In 1997 Timothy McVeigh, 28, and Terry Nichols, 41, went on trial in Denver for this crime. McVeigh was sentenced to death, Michols to life imprisonment.
