NATION IN BRIEF : OKLAHOMA : McVeigh Forged ID, Paper Reports

Share
From Times Staff and Wire Reports

Oklahoma City bombing suspect Tim McVeigh allegedly forged the driver’s license used to rent a truck involved in last year’s deadly bomb attack on the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, a newspaper reported. The Sunday Oklahoman newspaper said Michael and Lori Fortier, former friends of McVeigh, will testify that he used a typewriter at their house to forge the license he ordered from a magazine advertisement and used the name Bob Kling. That pseudonym is the one government investigators say was used to rent the Ryder truck in Kansas that transported the bomb. The blast on April 19, 1995, killed 167 people and injured hundreds.
