Answer:

The judge, Steven W. Taylor of District Court, sentenced Mr. Nichols to life without parole on each of 161 counts of first-degree murder.

Mr. Nichols received the same sentence in 1998 after he was convicted on federal charges in the deaths of eight law enforcement officers in the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. He was spared the death penalty in both trials when jurors could not agree on a sentence.

Timothy McVeigh was put to death on June 11, 2001 for killing 168 people when he bombed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995. He remains the only terrorist to be executed by the federal government.
