In an agreement struck with the Vigo County, Indiana, coroner, McVeigh's body will not be autopsied after he is executed. McVeigh has agreed that the coroner may do a visual examination of his body before he is put to death.

On the morning of June 11, 2001, Timothy James McVeigh will be executed for his role in the worst ever terrorist attack on U.S. soil.

As more than 30 witnesses look on, McVeigh will be put to death by lethal injection at the federal death penalty facility in Terre Haute, Indiana.

Read the Bureau of Prisons "how-to" manual for carrying out McVeigh's execution.
