Grassley wants more hearings into Waco disaster

August 31, 1999 By admin

Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley is calling for new Congressional hearings on the1993 standoff at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. Grassley saysnew reports have emerged about the F-B-I’s use of certain weapons andtactics that may have resulted in the fire that killed dozens of people.Grassley says the new information bodes very ill for Attorney General JanetReno, who testified six years ago that none of the incendiary devices wereused by the F-B-I and that there was no “seige mentality” at the site.Grassley says the new reports would make it clear the Justice Department andthe F-B-I lied before Congress about Waco, if the reports are legitimate.The blaze that ended the 51-day standoff killed Davidian leader David Koreshand about 80 people, including 20 children.
