After admitting OKC bombing, Terry Nichols gave conflicting statements about John Doe No. 2

After admitting a role in the Oklahoma City bombing, Terry Nichols gave conflicting statements about whether another conspirator, John Doe No. 2, existed, recently released FBI reports show.

Agents pressed Nichols for an answer in 2005 after he finally confessed to the FBI that he helped bomber Timothy McVeigh build the fertilizer bomb.

The FBI this year provided reports about the 2005 interviews to Utah attorney Jesse Trentadue. The attorney has been conducting his own inquiry into the April 19, 1995, attack.

In one interview, on May 26, 2005, “Nichols declined to identify John Doe #2,” the FBI reported.
