In this cartoon, Herblock labels the act of internal violence “terrorism.” Angered by the destruction of the Branch Davidian Compound in Waco, Texas, on April 19, 1993, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols plotted, along with several other extremists, against the United States government. Two years later, on April 19, 1995, McVeigh detonated bombs in a Ryder truck outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people and injuring more than 1,200.
