Oklahoma City ceremony recalls those lost in terror attack

A crowd of about a thousand gathered at the site in Oklahoma City where a terrorist bomb destroyed 

the federal building and killed 168 people two decades ago. They were there to remember the dead and hear speakers who included Bill Clinton, who was president at the time, and Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin.


The service was held at the Oklahoma City National Memorial, which was established where the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building once stood. The terror attack that destroyed it was, at the time, the deadliest on U.S. soil. Timothy McVeigh, an Army veteran with strong anti-government views, was executed for carrying out the bombing. His accomplice, Terry Nichols, is serving life in prison.
