(McAlester-AP) -- The sister of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh says days before the Oklahoma City bombing she received a letter from him warning that "something is going to happen."

Jennifer McVeigh testified today in the murder trial of bombing conspirator Terry Nichols. Nichols attorneys called her to testify as they try to show Timothy McVeigh was the mastermind behind the bombing and set up Nichols to take the blame.

She's testifying under a grant of immunity.

Jennifer McVeigh says her brother became increasingly angry at the federal government and criticized federal law enforcement for the siege at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas.

The Oklahoma City bombing came on the second anniversary of the Branch Davidian siege in which 80 people died.

Nichols faces 161 state first-degree murder charges for the bombing and prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
