Veighoneofihe men charged w ith the bombing According to Trezza Me Veigh came to the Hi Vcl table and bought some small items Trezza said Me Veigh seemed to like the type of merchandise displayed by Hi Vcl He said Me Veigh talked about w hat he did in the military and did not share any political view-Trezza described Me Veigh as “a nice guy" "He’s the kind of a guy youwouldn’l mind inviting over for dinner” Trezza said Trezza said he saw nothing to give any idea that he would commit this ty pe of a crime “Of all people I would not have expected this from him" Trezza said Mc Veigh reportedly v isitcd Trezza five or six times at (Liferent gun shows At one show Trezza said Me Veigh asked him if he needed any help at the Delta headquarters Trezza said he told Me Veigh "no” Me Veigh then asked
