Former President Bill Clinton landed at Will Rogers International Airport in Oklahoma City Friday afternoon ahead of the ceremony marking 30 years since the domestic terror attack at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.

168 people were killed in the attack on April 19, 1995. In the days after the bombing, local, state, and federal leaders began responding, headed to Oklahoma City to offer help and comfort, and investigate the crime.

Clinton, who was president when the bombing occurred on April 19, 1995, last attended the 20th anniversary remembrance ceremony.

"We are honored to have President Clinton back," said Kari Watkins, President and CEO of the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum. "He’s been back several times, and we’re honored that he wants to come back and be part of this important time of remembrance and education."
