Waco Investigation
The FBI reversed in September a six-year-old position that it never used munitions capable of sparking the blaze that ended a 51-day standoff with the Branch Davidian sect near Waco, Tex., and left 76 people dead.
Reno and FBI Director Louis J. Freeh have ordered "a full review of the
facts and circumstances" surrounding the use of
military gas canisters on that day, and the Attorney General has appointed
former Republican senator John Danforth of Missouri to head
an independent inquiry into the matter.
