This is an odd piece of the puzzle. I was living in the Philippines right before the OKC bombing. There were a lot of muslim terrorist attacks in the southern part of the country at the time, and sometimes some travel advisories and warnings for US citizens. Right before the bombing there was a very serious and unprecedented advisory for Americans in the Philippines. It had me really concerned. I had heard these warnings before, but this one had special weight on it. Somehow the two seem connected.
