Timothy McVeigh is led from the Noble County Courthouse in Perry, Oklahoma, by FBI agents after being charged with involvement in the April 19, 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on April 21, 1995
After Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh was executed in 2001, his body was cremated and his ashes were given to his lawyer, who scattered them at an undisclosed location. A few years earlier, Congress passed a law to ensure that McVeigh, a veteran who earned a Bronze Star in the Persian Gulf War, couldn’t be buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
