00:00 Brand new revelations about the fiery end of the Branch Davidian compound near Waco are setting off fires of a different sort. Recent discoveries are adding credibility to some groups that say this has been a cover-up since day one. KB24's Shelton Green joins us now with more. Shelton, after looking at the new evidence some of these groups must be saying we told you so Absolutely, Walt. When the Branchavidian compound went up in flames six years ago... ...the FBI swore its agents never launched incendiary devices inside But now their own footage which just surfaced is proving the agency wasn't telling the whole truth The FBI says this footage and radio traffic was overlooked for six years during the Waco fire investigation, and it suggests the FBI was planning to use incendiary devices during the raid.
00:54 Roger, of course if there's water underneath it that just might fail some but we can try it. Byron Sage the FBI's lead negotiator at the time says use of incendiary tear gas was no secret in Washington This tactical net as its referred to would have been monitored at the command post would have been monitored I would believe all the way up to and possibly the Washington DC area A former FBI profiler says this intense new interest could be dangerous People that want to believe their government's against them, it's given them new fuel to believe that again. In Waco right here... Radio talk show host Alex Jones says the government can't be trusted Well from day one there has been massive evidence The crime the federal government engaged in at Waco wasn't very cleanly done And thank God a lot of good people in the government leaked this information Information that is igniting the fires of Waco once again
01:48 Apparently another aerial tape from that fiery day in Waco has resurfaced and the FBI spokesperson says the agency hopes to release it tomorrow. Walt? Okay Shelton, this new evidence will be the topic of Nightline tonight immediately following KV24 News The Branch Davidian church rebuilding effort continued today despite some unwanted publicity yesterday Volunteers were still working hard to complete the church earlier today But yesterday's Ku Klux Klan rally to protest the federal government's involvement in the 1993 siege was still on the Davidians' minds. We didn't want them, encourage them to come and we didn't encourage him to come out here after the rally and we did not go to the rally. We feel that God is taking care of us and will continue to do it. We don't need the Ku Klux Klan
