"At the time, it was the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil. On April 19, 1995, a truck bomb destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 persons and wounding hundreds of others. The catastrophe shocked the nation and turned the spotlight on a subculture that had been growing but operating off the grid: the anti-government movement." (KANSAS CITY STAR) This article examines the state of the anti-government movement ten years after the Oklahoma City bombing. According to some experts, the "movement--which includes everything from the patriot and militia groups to the more violent white supremacists and neo-Nazis--is rudderless and in disarray....Many of its leaders are dead. Others are in prison." But others say "the lack of leadership has created a potentially explosive environment in which 'lone wolves' are encouraged to carry out their agendas."
