RENO SEES NO EVIDENCE FBI CAUSED BRANCH DAVIDIAN FIRE. DPS OFFICIAL SAYS REPORTS, COMPOUND DEBRIS MAY BE AT ODDS.
By David Jackson and Lee Hancock, Staff Writers of the Dallas Morning News
Attorney General Janet Reno said Thursday that there is no evidence that
FBI ordnance helped start the 1993 fire that consumed the Branch Davidian
compound near Waco.
"I have gone over everything, and I know of no such evidence," Ms. Reno
said at her weekly news conference in Washington.
Meanwhile, officials in Texas said the Texas Rangers are reviewing
evidence now in a dispute regarding the tank-and-tear-gas assault of
April 19, 1993.
James B. Francis, Jr., chairman of the Texas Department of Public Safety,
said he would not comment on Ms. Reno's statements. He also would not
withdraw comments he made earlier this week.
On Tuesday, Mr. Francis told 'THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS': "There's some
evidence that is at least problematic or at least questionable with
regard to what happened. With the proper experts analyzing it, it might
shed light as to whether an incendiary device was fired into the compound
that day."
The Department of Public Safety has asked a federal judge to take
POSSESSION OF ALL EVIDENCE ARISING FROM THE CRIMINAL PROSECUTION OF THE BRANCH DAVIDIAN SIEGE. The state agency has been custodian of the evidence since it was asked in 1993 to investigate the Branch Davidian
siege and its fiery ending, in which more than 70 people died.
Last week, the Justice Department told U.S. District Judge Walter Smith
that it was negotiating with DPS officials on the disposition of the
evidence and needed more time to respond to the DPS motion asking the
court to take custody of it.
Mr. Francis, however, said the DPS is not negotiating with federal
authorities and does not intend to allow anyone access to the evidence
until instructed by Judge Smith. He said that includes the FBI, which
sought to examine the material after the DPS made its motion.
