Secret Service says no Oklahoma City bombing tape exists 4/20/2004 12:52 AM By: Associated Press
Washington-(AP) -- There's a log describing a tape -- but no tape itself.
A Secret Service agent has testified that an agency document written shortly after the Oklahoma City bombing described security video footage and witness testimony -- suggesting Timothy McVeigh may have had some help.
The log describes footage showing the federal building explosion about three minutes after "suspects" exited the Ryder truck used in the blast.
But she says there's no evidence that the tape exists.
The government has insisted McVeigh drove the truck alone, and that it had no tapes showing the bombing or the scene at the building before it.
Several people involved with the case say they've never seen footage described in the log.
The agent who testified today at bombing conspirator Terry Nichols' trial says the log was an internal document used to keep track of agents' activities during the bombing investigation.
She said the reports in it may have been based on speculation -- and that the Secret Service doesn't vouch for its reliability.
