Video of OKC bombing

For nearly a decade, we've heard rumors that a surveillance camera taped the Oklahoma City bombing as it happened. The FBI has long denied the existence of any such tape. The Bureau also denies that anyone aside from Timothy McVeigh drove the Ryder truck containing the bomb.

Now this little-noticed AP story reveals that such a tape does, or did, exist. While reporters have not viewed the footage, apparently someone at the Secret Service did. A recently-released Secret Service document even describes what appears on screen -- and get ready for a shocker: "Security video tapes from the area show the truck detonation 3 minutes and 6 seconds after the suspects exited the truck."

That's suspectS. As in "more than one."
