The bombers were identified as Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, two former colleagues from the US Army, who had a deep-seated animosity toward the federal government due to the brutal raid on the Branch Davidian religious sect near Waco, Texas, and the standoff in the Ruby Ridge mountains of Idaho that killed a 14-year-old boy, his mother, and a federal agent.(AP)
