2 BOMBING SUSPECTS HELD

FBI agents arrested a suspect Friday in the bombing of a federal building in Oklahoma City, where at least 65 people died in the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history. A second man surrendered, but federal authorities said they were only questioning him and had not placed him under arrest.

The suspect, Timothy James McVeigh, 26, was put under federal arrest at a jail in the small town of Perry, Okla. - where he had spent the two days since the bombing in custody on minor traffic and weapons charges. His arrest and the surrender of Terry Nichols, 40, in the town of Herington, Kan., made it apparent that the bombing was domestic terrorism.
