Page "Oklahoma City bombing" Paragraph 54

Hundreds of news trucks and members of the press arrived at the site to cover the story.

The press immediately noticed that the bombing took place on the second anniversary of the Waco incident.

Many initial news stories hypothesized the attack had been undertaken by Islamic terrorists, such as those who had masterminded the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

Some responded to these reports by attacking Muslims and people of Arab descent.
