WASHINGTON (AP) - A Secret Service document written shortly after the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing described security video footage of the attack and witness testimony that suggested Timothy McVeigh may have had accomplices at the scene. A Secret Service agent testified Monday that the log does, in fact, exist but that the government knows of no videotape. The log that the information was pulled from contained reports that were never verified.

Stacy A. Bauerschmidt, assistant to the special agent in charge of the agency's intelligence division, said the timeline was an internal log developed to help locate personnel lost in the bombing and determine if the agency was a specific target of the attack.

Reports may have been based on mere speculation and the agency does not vouch for it reliability, she said.

The document, if accurate, is either significant evidence kept secret for nine years or a misconstrued recounting of investigative leads that were often passed by word of mouth during the hectic early days of the case, they said.

Document: Oklahoma City Bombing Was Taped

WASHINGTON (AP) - A Secret Service document written shortly after the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing described security video footage of the attack and witness testimony that suggested Timothy McVeigh may have had accomplices at the scene.

``Security video tapes from the area show the truck detonation 3 minutes and 6 seconds after the suspects exited the truck,'' the Secret Service reported six days after the attack on a log of agents' activities and evidence in the Oklahoma investigation.

The government has insisted McVeigh drove the truck himself and that it never had any video of the bombing or the scene of the Alfred P. Murrah building in the minutes before the April 19, 1995, explosion.

Several investigators and prosecutors who worked the case told The Associated Press they had never seen video footage like that described in the Secret Service log.
