OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — In a new book due out tomorrow, Timothy McVeigh says he was ready to die in the Oklahoma City bombing if necessary.

McVeigh says he breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived at the Alfred P. Murrah Building on April 19th, 1995, because not one car was parked in front.

If the drop-off spots he had selected had been filled with cars, he says he would have driven his truck bomb right into the side of the building.

McVeigh has expressed no remorse for the bombing, which killed 168 people.

In the book "American Terrorist: Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City Bombing," McVeigh says he acted "as calmly as any delivery-truck driver making a routine drop-off."

McVeigh is scheduled to be executed on May 16th. He says he'll be glad to leave. In his words, "this world just doesn't hold anything for me."

Excerpts of the new book are being published in Newsweek magazine.
