McVeigh Execution Date Set “Federal officials set a May 16 execution date Tuesday for Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, who was convicted of murder and conspiracy for the bombing that killed 168 people in the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building…

The 32-year-old McVeigh, who is on death row at a federal prison in Terre Haute, Ind., has said he doesn’t want any more appeals, but he has reserved the right to seek executive clemency.” Martyrdom awaits; at least the killing isn’t going to be on the anniversary of the April 19, 1995 bombing. AP
