Terry anderson is free. He was the last of the american hostages held by proiranian terrorists in beirut, lebanon. In the beginning of the 90s terrorism was thought to be done. People likely to use terrorism to achieve political objectives were dead, in jail or part of the peace process. A syrian delegation is in washington today, ready to meet with israel to talk about middle east peace. We thought the 90s would be a time of peace. Not only was the cold war over, we had won. We have before us the opportunity to forge a new world order, a world where the rule of law governs the conduct of nations. The world was changing, and it was an exciting time for those who really viewed america as the nation that would embrace globalization. But there were many people who didnt like that changing america. In maples, idaho about 40 miles from the Canadian Border federal marshals are surrounding a cabin, where a fugitive white supremacist named randy weaver is holed up with his family. Randy weaver was a survivalist who lived out in the mountains with his family at ruby ridge, idaho. Weaver was of interest to the bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms because he had links to the aryan nations. And they tried to pressure him to inform on his friends in the movement, and he refused. Weaver is summoned to court for a weapons charge that involves the selling of some sawedoff shotguns to Law Enforcement. Now a force of 200 police, federal agents and the National Guard have surrounded the house. This is nothing more than a show of force to scare everybody who lives up here in north idaho. We all have guns in our houses. We all have guns buried some place. Northern idaho has become home for a lot of people like randy weaver who want to be away from the problems of civilization and from civilization itself. He is not a terrorist. He is not endangering anybody. Everybody that knows him has talked about him as a good, loving Christian Family man. Never before has Northern Idaho witnessed this kind of fire power from the federal government. There is a shootout in which weavers 14yearold son sammy, a dog and a u. S. Marshal all ended up dead. An fbi sharpshooter shot his wife dead while she was carrying the baby in her arms. Fbi agents are trained to shoot only to protect themselves or others. The rules of engagement for ruby ridge were rewritten. Decisions were made within the fbi that allowed the snipers to shoot at anyone who was armed. It was completely unjustifiable. Put a bullet in my head hey, ill make it easy. Ill turn my back on you. Not everyone who lives around here says randy weaver is in the right. But they say none of this would have happened if federal authorities had just left him alone. Ruby ridge was not a story that was on the front page of national newspapers. Most people didnt know about it at all, but it actually did energize the radical right. The siege ended at 12 15 when randall weaver and his three children walked off the mountain after 11 days. There is all this tremendous ferment that is arising after the end of the cold war. This mindset that the United States government is the enemy breeds almost the decade of violence. In langley, virginia today, right outside cia headquarters, a young man with a rifle opened fire on a number of people who were in their cars. No one would ever think that a situation like a shooting of cia personnel would happen on their front doorstep. The shooter escapes. Two cia employees were shot to death in virginia. A pakistani suspect is reported to be back in pakistan. They figured out his name, aamir kazi. But they dont know where to peg him. Who is he working for . What organization . In the 1970s, we were dealing with terrorist groups. In this case there was no group that could be identified. This was the actions of one single individual. We did not realize that terrorism seemed to be moving in a new direction. [ sirens ] a mysterious explosion underground has spread smoke and terror throughout the gigantic world trade towers today. At 18 minutes after noon, something terrible happened here in lower manhattan. Counterterrorism sources tell cnn they now suspect the explosion was caused by a car bomb. The bombing was designed to bring down the north tower and the north tower than falling into the south tower. That did not, of course, collapse the towers. But it did kill six people and injure over 1,000 more. I was very concerned. Anything like that, any accident, tragedy, anything of moment you feel it very personally. I think its most amazing is that more people werent killed, especially having occurred at the hour it did and in the place that it did. President clinton had just come into office. I was in new york as the ambassador of the united nations. Theres no way to fully explain how all of a sudden the mood changed. Ill put the full resources of the federal government, every Law Enforcement information resource we can put to work on this, we have. Im very concerned about it. Federal officials are beginning to focus more heavily on the possibility of the explosion being the work of foreign terrorists. The 1993 World Trade Center bombing was a signal of how the extremist war that had been limited largely to the middle east was coming to the american shores. Tonight, six days after the bombing at the World Trade Center, one suspect is in custody. More arrests are said to be coming. The investigators found the vin number of the ryder truck, and it turned out that one of the collaborators had returned there to ask for his 400 deposit back. Authorities have told abc news that the man has links to a radical muslim group. They managed to capture most of the accomplices but the mastermind, ramzi yousef, fled. Ramzi yousef is smart and he is radicalized. His uncle is Khalid Sheikh mohammed. A man who would become a leader in an Organization Called al qaeda. I have an office in that building. I will lead my people back into that office that will be our message to whoever did this. Whatever you were trying to achieve, you failed. For the fbi, the lesson was that these guys, while dangerous, were not at the same level as the terrorists of the late 80s. They were wannabes. That of course would be a complete misunderstanding. For the First Time Since the bombing, tower 2 will reopen for business, two weeks ahead of schedule. And that, says new yorks mayor, is a testament to a city that conquered the use of fear as a weapon. The only ones who should be fearful now, he says, are the terrorists themselves. I know when i hand them the keys to their first car its gonna be scary. But i also know that were gonna have usaa insurance for both my boys.

Higher and higher, baby the new king of the concrete jungle. Good morning, everybody. We begin this time around at waco, texas, where dozens of federal agents are surrounding the headquarters of a religious cult. February 28th, i got a call saying get down to waco, theres been some kind of shootout. This religious group, the Branch Davidians have this compound. They have been buying parts that would convert semiautomatic weapons to fully automatic weapon, which were illegal. The atf decided it was time to go in. Take the shot. Get the hell out of here four federal agents died in the sunday morning shootout there in texas. 16 others were wounded. Almost 100 heavily armed cult members remain inside this sprawling compound. Cult leader david koresh says the standoff will continue until god tells him to come out. Koresh proclaimed himself to be a prophet. The tribune began to publish a series of articles about what they called the sinful messiah, who loves music and who will drink a beer with you, and who also happens to have sex with underaged girls and has a lot of weapons. It makes nobodys business whether we have a gun or not. Guns are the right of americans to have. Cult members continue fortifying their compound, an indication there is no plan to surrender any time soon. The showdown moves into its 18th day. This is day 20 of the standoff. This was day 32. Negotiations between the cult and fbi agents have stalled. It was all waco all the time. Every newscast, every newspaper, every radio newscast is filled with this showdown. David koresh becomes a household name, and many people are inspired by him. He is taking it to the u. S. Government. He is not going to stand down. And people drive to waco to show their support. Things had reached a point partly because of the publicity that something had to give right away. An update on the 51day standoff. Early this morning Armored Vehicles entered cult leader David Koreshs compound and began punching large holes in the walls. A decision was made to inject cx gas, a kind of tear gas on steroids. All america along with all of Law Enforcement on the scene is waiting for people to come out. Suddenly, out of one of the second floor windows, flames burst forth. And as you can see, it looks like at this point the entire compound is just engulfed. I have never in my life seen anything burn that way. It just went up in this massive fireball. There are no signs at this point of any people coming out of the building. The images are horrible. You had the federal government of the United States using a tank to deal with a compound that has children. Its not what we do in the United States. And yet in many ways the Clinton Administration felt that koresh had left them no alternative. The offender there was david koresh. And i do not think the United States government is responsible for the fact that a bunch of fanatics decided to kill themselves. And im sorry that they killed their children. It was proved later that the davidians lit that building on fire themselves. But there were literally millions of americans who absolutely believed that the government had murdered those people. This whole situation started with violence. It was not justified, not provoked when the atf went in there. And it ended in violence that was not justified and not provoked. Waco was Proof Positive to many people that this was an aggressive, predatory federal government and now we have to fight back, like the minutemen in 1776 to bear arms to defend their own rights. This is the michigan militia, a selfproclaimed fighting force of ordinary citizens preparing to defend themselves against the federal government. You will be receiving live fire over your heads this morning. Theres also an armed militia here in indiana, and at least 20 other states. Wed always had a radical right. But in the 90s it really entered the mainstream. Gun shows became an extremely important venue, not just for selling guns, but theyre selling real life nazi literature along with survivalist handbooks and all that kind of thing. So youre prepared for a conflict with the federal government . Yes, we are prepared to defend our homes, our families, our children, our lives, our property, yes. Americans are largely ignorant of whats happening in the heartland with regard to this militia movement. And there is an extremist element of this which would not have been on anybodys radar. And thats what made them so dangerous. We do have a special report from nbc news. There has been a massive explosion at a Federal Building in Oklahoma City, oklahoma. We have no way to tell at the moment how many casualties there are. The explosion felt 35 miles away. Rescue workers are desperately trying to save any remaining lives. You can see the side of the building is all down. On april 19th when i got to Oklahoma City, the building was still on fire, and a whole lot of cars around the building that had also exploded. It was unbelievable. Amid the horror of the bombing its the dead and wounded children that have stunned and angered the nation. The motive behind the madness is unknown at this hour. The governor of oklahoma says two things are known for sure. Those who did this knew what they were doing, and whoever did it, the governor said, is some kind of animal. I am pleased to announce one of the individuals believed to be responsible for wednesdays terrible attack in Oklahoma City has been arrested. Timothy mcveigh, aged 27. The shock around the country was huge. This was an act of terrorism by one of our own citizens. A second man was charged today with blowing up the Federal Building. Terry nichols, who has been in custody since just after the bombing. Timothy mcveigh and Terry Nichols had met in the army. Mcveigh had fought in the first persian gulf war. He left the military very, very disillusioned. The one thing that sustained him was his reading about the radical far right and meeting likeminded people. Timothy mcveighs plot to blow up the Federal Building took shape over the course of a secret yearlong odyssey. He visited militia groups throughout the country. He went to the waco compound when it was under siege. On april 19th, two years to the date after the waco incident, Oklahoma City was bombed. Mr. President , there are tens, maybe more tens of thousands of men and women dressing up on weekends in military garb going off for training because theyre upset about waco. Despite what you say, were talking about thousands and a group of people in this country who are furious at the federal government. Well, they have a right to believe whatever they want. They have a right to say whatever they want. They have a right to keep and bear arms. They have a right to put on uniforms and go out on the weekends. They do not have the right to kill innocent americans. They do not have the right to violate the law. Its not like you can go to war against domestic terrorism. Theyre ours. This was our problem. We still dont know how much hate is growing now near other scrubbed farmhouses in other trailer parks. That is how many others there are just like him. Frizzy, unruly hair .

Good evening. It is a terrifying and long running mystery. Somewhere in this country tonight, there is a mad bomber who has been sending deadly bombs to people for 16 years now. The fbi started investigating this bomber in 1978. A new jersey advertising executive opened a piece of mail in his home this weekend, and it exploded, killing him. It was a horrifying scene. I remember was a cast iron skillet with nails embedded in it from the force of the blast. This coldblooded murder is the latest deadly development in a series of bombings code named unabomb. Una bomb stands for university airline bomber. Thats because six universities, and one commercial airline and an Airline Executive have been among the victims. The f
