No, I don't think he knew about the day care, What he was after was the Federal
Agents responsible for the murders at Ruby Ridge, and unfortunately they were
away at a meeting or conference somewhere.  Thus his intended targets were
spared.   He often referred to all the rest as "Collateral Damage."

The point I am trying to make here is that while he was a white male, he did
have a goal, (target) even though it was unsuccessful.  The people for whom the
term "Terrorist" was coined are the ones who target innocent civilians as
opposed to a military operation.  The latter are termed "combatants.", I think.

As for the middle Easterners, wasn't all but one or two actually Saudi natives?
I do see that this fact is frequently left out by the media and the government
who obviously have in mind keeping the Saudi's appeased for some reason.
Perhaps the oil supply maybe?

The old bad habit of painting things with such a broad brush that more innocents
get entrapped in the fear.

  I agree that it is still random terroristic murder. I just wondered as
  I was writing this whether they knew that there was a day care center
  and went ahead anyway.
