                 JOHN DOE II ARRESTED BY FBI

=0D

    Michael William Brescia, who has been linked to the  Oklahoma

City  bombing  as  John  Doe II, has been arrested on bankrobbing

charges by the FBI.

=0D

    Brescia was indicted together with four other members of  the

Aryan  Republican  Army white separatist group last week. The FBI

denied that his arrest had  anything  to  do  with  the  Oklahoma

bombing. The FBI now even denies that John Doe II exists.

=0D

    But Edye Smith, the mother of two children who  died  in  the

bombing,  in a private law suit has named Brescia as the John Doe

II that the FBI was looking for immediately after the bombing  in

response  to  eyewitness accounts. Brescia, together with Andreas

Strassmeir  were  government  informants  who   infiltrated   the

underground  resistance  movement. For a time they lived together

at  Elohim  City,  Oklahoma.  A  few  days  before  the  bombing,

Strassmeir received a telephone call at Elohim City. The call was

from Timothy McVeigh.

=0D

    The FBI has been outright hostile to witnesses who  claim  to

have   seen   Timothy   McVeigh  and  Michael  Brescia  together.

Eyewitness Connie Smith last year told the London Telegraph  that

"I kept telling them that the man in the [John Doe II] sketch was

that Mike guy, a nice-looking guy,  dark-skinned.   But  the  FBI

made  me  feel  guilty, then ignorant, as if I didn't know what I

was saying. Then, later, I tried to call in with more information

and they wouldn't even talk to me."

=0D

    It is difficult to gauge  the  motive  of  the  FBI  in  this

arrest.   Operating under the assumption that the FBI is covering

up something in the Oklahoma bombing, the arrest could be seen as

an   interference   in  the  law  suit  brought  by  Edye  Smith.

Prosecution on phony charges is the most frequently  used  device

to  destroy  the  credibility  of  former government employees or

informants who know too much.

By Robert Ruth, Dispatch Staff Writer Richard Lee Guthrie Jr., one of the leaders of the Midwestern Bank Bandits, was planning to write a book about his crime spree, aacording to a letter he sent The Dispatch six weeks before his 1996 death. The letter was written May 30 from Guthrie's Covington, Ky., jail cell. He had been arrested in Cincinnati Jan. 15, 1996. The letter requested that he be sent all news articles The Dispatch had written about the Bank Bandits. The letter added, "As a token for your assistance, I'll forward you a copy of the book that I am currently writing. Your cooperation is appreciated." On July 12, Guthrie was found dead in his cell with a sheet wrapped around his neck-- an apparent suicide. Guthrie's body was found shortly after he pleaded guilty to 19 robberies and agreed to testify against Peter "Commander Pedro" Langan and other alleged members of the gang. Langan is on trial in U.S. District Court in Columbus, charged with two of the gang's heists. Guthrie left behind two notes, both dated July 10, 1996. One was written to his attorney, the other to his brother Nicholas. The letter to his brother said, "I'm sure that you're going to question my motive, but the fact is that I have no intentions of putting our family in harms (sic) way." "The worst part about this is that the media is going to gloat over past events as well as my testimony against Pete (Langan) and others, and I'm sure you understand what the consequences are for me in the future." The letter to his attorney said, "You'll have to excuse the way I've dealt with resolving the delima (sic) I'm in but sometimes it takes something like suicide to settle a problem. Especially one that's like....mine." END OF STORY SO WHO DID GUTHRIE THINK WAS GOING AFTER HIS FAMILY IF HE DIDN'T KILL HIMSELF?

Case against Oklahoma bomb suspect collapses

By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in Washington

=0D

THE government case in the Oklahoma bombing trial, due to open

next month, is disintegrating. It is now quite possible that Tim

McVeigh, the main suspect, will be acquitted.

=0D

The latest blow to the prosecution is a report that the FBI crime lab

altered forensic conclusions to accommodate government claims

that the blast, which killed 168 people in the spring of 1995, was

caused by a 4,000lb ammonium nitrate bomb. The report, by the

Justice Department's Inspector General, found that some lab

officials have been pressed to falsify evidence and commit perjury

to support prosecutions.

=0D

With the FBI crime lab going through the worst crisis in the history of

the Bureau, everything it touches is now tainted.

=0D

But there are deeper problems with the case, the deadliest act of

terrorism ever committed on American soil, one that precipitated a

witch hunt against the militia movement and, by raising the spectre

of Right-wing extremism, arguably helped President Clinton's re-

election.

=0D

The prosecution has been tying itself in knots from the beginning.

This is chiefly because it insists on a 'lone bomber theory' - with

another man, Terry Nichols, helping in the background - when the

evidence clearly indicates a more complex conspiracy involving a

terrorist cell. Last week it became clear that the Justice Department

is willing to let the case collapse rather than risk collateral

revelations. On Thursday the FBI arrested Michael Brescia, the man

alleged to be the mysterious 'John Doe II' seen with McVeigh in the

days before the bombing. Brescia has been named in a private

lawsuit by victims of the blast as a co-conspirator of McVeigh.

=0D

But in keeping with the "Alice in Wonderland" character of this

investigation, Brescia was arrested for his alleged role in a series of

bank robberies carried out by a neo-Nazi group called the Aryan

Republican Army.

=0D

McVeigh is also tied into this ARA cell, and his sister told the FBI in

May 1995 that her brother had been involved in bank robberies. But

the Justice Department does not want to know.

=0D

Indeed, it has gone to hazardous lengths to stamp out talk of a

broader bombing conspiracy involving the Aryan Republican Army.

On Wednesday, the day before Brescia's arrest, it announced that

John Doe II - the subject of the massive FBI manhunt in the weeks

after the bombing - had never existed.

=0D

The Justice Department stated that Tom Kessinger, a clerk at the

Ryder rental agency where McVeigh allegedly rented the bombing

vehicle, was confused when he helped to produce a artist's sketch of

a second man with McVeigh. This is highly contentious. Mr

Kessinger provided the famous John Doe II sketch immediately after

the blast. Almost two years later he abruptly changes tack and

asserts that he muddled John Doe II with a soldier named Tod

Bunting who came into the office on a different day.

=0D

Unfortunately for the prosecution, Mr Kessinger has already given

too many interviews ridiculing the Bunting canard. "He was laughing

about it and said 'I don't know how they came up with that one'," said

Glenn Wilburn, a bombing victim, when he visited Mr Kessinger last

year. The Justice Department has now destroyed Mr Kessinger's

credibility, so it can no longer put him on the stand to identify

McVeigh as the man who rented the Ryder truck. But the

prosecution does not have much else to rely on.

=0D

The original FBI statements by the employees at the Ryder rental

agency describe the man supposed to be McVeigh - who used the

alias of Robert Kling - as 13 stone, 5ft 11in, stocky, with a pock-

marked face. This bears no resemblance to the lanky, 11 stone, 6ft

3in, baby-faced McVeigh.

=0D

The prosecution, of course, can draw on an army of witnesses who

saw McVeigh with a Ryder truck shortly before the bomb went off at

9am on April 19 1995. But they all saw him with other suspects,

making a mockery of the claim that McVeigh acted alone.

=0D

So it appears that none of these witnesses is going to be called to

testify. Instead, the prosecution is relying on a single man who

thought he might have seen McVeigh getting out of a Ryder truck.

Why is the Justice Department destroying its own case? A clue

came last Tuesday in an Oklahoma newspaper, the McCurtain Daily

Gazette, which has gathered evidence that the US Bureau of

Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) was monitoring the bombing

conspiracy from the very start.

=0D

According to the Gazette, a paid informant working for the Tulsa

office of the ATF has come forward to admit that she used hidden

cameras to film three members of a neo-Nazi group in Oklahoma

discussing plans to blow up a federal building.

=0D

One was Andreas Strassmeir, a former German army officer with

ties to McVeigh. Strassmeir shared a house at the time with Michael

Brescia of the Aryan Republican Army underground. The story helps

to explain how bomb squads could have been seen in downtown

Oklahoma hours before the explosion. It also buttresses testimony

that McVeigh appeared to be operating as part of a team on the day

of the crime in Oklahoma City.

=0D

The only conclusion that one can draw is that the Justice

Department is protecting a federal informant who had penetrated the

bombing conspiracy - probably Strassmeir, but possibly also Brescia

- and is trying to cover up a bungled sting. McVeigh's defence

lawyer, Stephen Jones, says that the American people will never be

able to think of their government in the same way once they learn

the full truth about the Oklahoma bombing. Is he just bluffing?
