Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) visited Terry Nichols in prison in 2005 and Rohrabacher claims Nichols would not speculate about "John Doe 2" but claimed there were unknown others involved in the attack, a statement first made to the FBI during the investigation.Nichols stated his belief that the 1995 bombing that claimed the lives of 168 Americans was a "Middle Eastern" terrorist operation, however Nichols statements about events leading up to the attack are self-contradictory.
