Federal prosecutors said no one had fonnally requested an investigation. The newspaper denied breaking any laws. Its lawyer, Paul Watler. said the paper used "lawful newsgathering techniques" and "did not hack into Mr. Jones· computer system and it did not assist anyone else in doing so." "We have no fear of criminal repercussions," Watler said. In a story published on line Friday. the newspaper cited a defense memorandum that said McVeigh admitted to driving the explosives-laden truck that demolished the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in April 1995, killing 168 people and injuring more than 500. The memo said he chose a daytime att.Jek to ensure a "body count." The repon also said McYeigh told his lawyers that he and Michael Fortier, a fonner friend from Kingman. Ariz., and a Army associate who's now a key witness against him. broke into the National Guard Armory in Kingman sometime in June or Jul)· of 1994. Kingman police have confirmed the burglary but have nor linked McVei gh to it. • Jones responded within hours, saying the document was either a hoax or had heen stolen: he suggested the paper had been duped by one of its critics.
