Prior Bombing Plots
In October 1983, members of the white supremacist group The Covenant, The Sword, and the Arm of the Lord, including founder James Ellison and Richard Snell plotted to park "a van or trailer in front of the Federal Building and blow it up with rockets detonated by a timer." Richard Snell was executed on April 19, 1995 after Associate Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas declined to hear further appeal, the same day as the bombing of the federal building was carried out.
