Oklahoma City grand jury finds no wider conspiracy
"We cannot affirmatively state that absolutely no one else was involved in the bombing," grand jurors said. "However, we have not been presented with or uncovered information sufficient to indict any additional conspirators."

No evidence of a second bomb explosion.
Former State Rep. Charles Key, one of the petition drive's organizers, believes the bombing may have been part of a larger conspiracy. "We're dealing with FBI agent falsification of witness statements and perjury and many other problems in this case," Key told CNN on Wednesday prior to the report's release. Asked why the government might want to cover up information, Key said, "That's what we want to know."
