Born in 1968, Timothy McVeigh was an American white supremacist and domestic terrorist, who was convicted for a bomb attack on a U.S. Government building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995, killing 168 and injuring hundreds. McVeigh cited the white supremacist book The Turner Diaries as partly responsible for his radicalization, and cited anti-government beliefs as motivation for his crimes. Like many other white supremacist mass killers, McVeigh is revered by some neo-Nazis as a "saint" for their cause.
