The bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City occurred on April 19, 1995, when Timothy McVeigh detonated a truck bomb outside the building, killing 168 people and injuring over 600. This attack was motivated by McVeigh's opposition to the federal government's actions, particularly the Waco siege and the Ruby Ridge incident. It remains one of the deadliest acts of domestic terrorism in U.S. history and led to significant changes in national security and law enforcement policies. The tragedy is commemorated at the Oklahoma City National Memorial, honoring the victims and promoting a message of hope and healing.
