Post-attack, Salem claimed that the FBI mishandled the situation and that they could have prevented the bombing. Tape recordings of his conversations with FBI agents seemed to suggest that the FBI had been aware of the possibility of using a bomb. However, they have maintained that they had no prior knowledge of the bombing plot. This has led to some conspiracy theories suggesting FBI complicity or negligence in the event, but no solid evidence has emerged to prove such claims.
