"Expert" Says Blast Was Neutron Bomb
State Rep. Charles Key maintained his stance Friday that the federal government is not being forthright about the April 19 bombing, as he came forward with self-described experts with their own theories.
Key's news conference followed his Thursday night forum in the state House, which several victims and their family members angrily left.
Galen Winsor, who said he has 43 years of experience in the nuclear industry building weapons, said Friday he's convinced the Oklahoma City bomb was a neutron bomb. Federal investigators say it was a 4,800-pound mixture of fertilizer and fuel oil.
Winsor also said he was convinced that President Clinton and Attorney General Janet Reno were aware of the bombing before it occurred.
Key said Winsor's opinion about Clinton and Reno was "just that," although he said that should not diminish his expertise about a neutron bomb.
Winsor challenged the media to demand to see "ultra-violet light spectrums" of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building just prior to April 19 and shortly afterwards. He said it would show the amount of radiation.
Ted Gunderson, who said he was a 28-year FBI veteran, said he was convinced that it was more than ammonium nitrate used in the bombing. He did concede that he has no real expertise in the area but believed other experts who have doubts.
He accused the "mainstream media" of being duped into telling the government's story.
Retired Gen. Benton Partin said he thinks there was more than one explosion. He said although he had never toured the bomb site, he could tell from pictures that there was more than one blast.
Key has urged that House Speaker Glen Johnson call for a special committee to investigate the bombing.
Gov. Frank Keating and House Minority Leader Larry Ferguson, both Republicans like Key, said such a committee would be useless.
Johnson said Key should refer information he might have about the bombing to the "proper investigative authorities. " BIOG: NAME:
