December 1988: Oklahoma City Bomber’s Brother Formulates Plan to Use ‘Megabomb’ to Destroy Building

James Nichols, a Michigan farmer, white separatist, and the brother of Terry Nichols (see 1988-1989), formulates a plan to use a “megabomb” to destroy an Oklahoma City federal building. James Nichols, who says he is upset over the US’s “role” in the terrorist bombing of PanAm Flight 103, shares the plan with an unnamed FBI informant, who will swear to the information in 1995, after Terry Nichols is arrested for helping destroy the building (see April 19, 1995).
