OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- A gun collector whom Terry Nichols accuses of providing some of the explosives used in Oklahoma City bombing denies any involvement with Nichols or Timothy McVeigh.

Nichols wrote in a letter to the grandmother of two bombing victims that Roger Moore[pictured left] gave the explosives to McVeigh and provided additional bomb components recently found in Nichols' former Kansas home.

Moore said Wednesday that Nichols is serving two life sentences and the only thing he can do to entertain himself is come up with conspiracy theories. Moore says he never saw Nichols before his trial and never even heard his voice.

Nichols claimed in the letter that F-B-I tests, including fingerprinting, on a case of little tubes of nitromethane found at the Kansas residence would support his claim that they came from Moore and Moore's girlfriend.

Oklahoma County prosecutor Wes Lane says Nichols has given different stories at different times to different people.

The letter Nichols wrote to Kathy Sanders was dated April 18th, the day before the ten-year anniversary of the federal building bombing that killed 168 people.
