McVeigh execution witnesses debate at federal prison
About 250 people harmed by the Oklahoma City bombing seek to view Timothy McVeigh's May 16 execution. Federal officials weigh a closed circuit broadcast as the eight-seat Terre Haute death chamber limits witnesses for victims. McVeigh waived appeals in December and faces a February 16 clemency deadline from President Bush amid the 1995 bombing that killed 168. Firestone tire failures prompt an expanded NHTSA inquiry after 174 deaths and 700 injuries among 6,000 complaints, with Bridgestone/Firestone facing whether the August recall of ATX, ATX II and Wilderness AT models suffices.
