Was OKC Bombing Related to Islamic Terror?

Hussain Alhussaini was “John Doe #2” in the Oklahoma City Bombing case. The FBI knew that he and Tim McVeigh had spent some time together prior to the bombing of the Murrah building. However after investigating Alhussaini, he was freed because there was no evidence of his involvement.

Now Alhussaini has shown up in the news again. Apparently, he is a drunk, homeless, violent offender living on the streets in Massachusetts. He was just jailed for ramming a broken beer bottle in another man’s face.

From the PatriotLedger here:

It was a routine call for Quincy police about two homeless men fighting. Hussain Al-Hussaini was arrested. The victim was taken to the hospital.

Jayna Davis, author of the 2004 book “Third Terrorist: The Middle East Connection to the Oklahoma City Bombing,” said she asked a Quincy police detective if Hussain Al-Hussaini, the man police arrested, had a tattoo of an anchor with a snake wrapped around it. He did. Police sent her a photo of him.

“His age, his name, the picture, the mug shot – that’s him,” Davis told The Patriot Ledger via telephone after speaking with police. She said the anchor-and-snake tattoo was common among members of a branch of the Iraqi army under Saddam Hussein.

An FBI spokesman in Boston, Greg Comcowich, said Thursday night that a man named Hussain Al-Hussaini was “thoroughly investigated” in connection with the Oklahoma City bombing and “was found to not have any role whatsoever in the attack on the Murrah Federal Building in 1995.”

Hussain Al-Hussaini had been seen with bomber Timothy McVeigh before the April 19, 1995, bombing, which killed 168 people.

Hussain Al-Hussaini, 45, was arrested around 7:30 a.m. Wednesday near 1250 Hancock St. and charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon because he slashed another homeless man’s face with a beer bottle.

The Al-Hussaini arrested in Quincy had been arrested in the city in 2007 on a narcotics charge and in 2009 for open and gross lewdness, Traub said.

Quincy police Capt. John Dougan said Al-Hussaini is known to police and was first arrested in Quincy in 1996 on a charge of driving without a license. He told police his native country is Iraq.

Liberals love to defend Muslims against the terrorism label by claiming that the OKC bombing was a terror act by a Christian. Now it seems that there may have been some Islamic influence at least tangentially, to the OKC bombing.
