McVeigh Case Delayed?

Recently the FBI admitted that hundreds of documents linked to their investigation would not given to McVeigh's layers. The United States Attorney General says he will fight any further delays in the execution. One hundred and sixty people were killed in the attack in 1995. McVeigh is to be put to death June 11.
