Oklahoma City bombing suspect Nichols charged in federal case
Army buddy of Timothy McVeigh, Terry Nichols, turned himself in 48 hours after the bombing and was flown to Oklahoma City to face federal terrorism charges. Nichols, 40, is held separately from McVeigh at a federal prison, with transfer from Kansas approved and a court appearance set. Prosecutors cite fertilizer receipts and travel between states as evidence. Nichols lives in Herington, Kansas, and investigators consider another possible post-rental trip to Oklahoma City.
