| The government now admits flashes on infrared video of the siege could be gunfire On April 19, 1993, David Koresh and 73 followers - including 26 children - died when their 51-day standoff with the government launched a tear-gassing operation. For years, the FBI has claimed that flashes on infrared film of the attack were caused by debris reflecting sunlight, insisting they could not have been caused by gunfire. A reenactment of the siege seven years later forced
government lawyers to admit that infrared technology can indeed pick up muzzle
flashes. Survivors of those who died in the Waco inferno say the evidence
proves that the government set fire to the compound, then cut off the only route
of escape with gunfire. |
