Foreign Operatives at Waco?

Unusual ammunition casings discovered by Texas Rangers suggest
that foreign operatives may have been more than just observers at the Waco
siege.

Exclusive To The SPOTLIGHT

Texas Rangers at the Branch Davidian church at Mount Carmel,
near Waco, Tex., unearthed evidence of 24 rifle cartridge casings, which
raise the specter of foreign involvement in the April 19, 1993, holocaust
that cost the lives of nearly 80 people.

After the church had been consumed in flames following the
51-day siege, Texas Rangers were assigned the task of combing through the
debris at the scene to retrieve any evidence.

A 13-page report by Texas Rangers, released Sept. 10, reveals
that among other evidence, 24 cartridge casings found at one of two
neighboring "undercover houses" used by FBI agents bore the unmistakable head
stamp "IMI," which stands for Israeli Military Industries, one of the largest
producers of military arms and ammunition in that country.

The discovery of the cartridge casings was reported by Ranger
Sgt. Ronny Griffith in Report No. RF093021-U.12.

The report raises serious questions about deeper involvement by
Israel's Mossad, coming in the wake of an exclusive report in last week's
edition of The SPOTLIGHT that at least one Israeli agent was assigned as a
reported "observer" to federal agents involved in the attack.

Congressional investigators and others, once again delving into
the Waco tragedy, contend the FBI was using the two houses as cover for
snipers shooting into the religious facility. It is believed that the snipers
may have been "picking off" those within the flaming buildings attempting to
escape.

In addition to the spent Israeli .223-caliber rounds, the
Rangers picked up 12 .308 caliber casings from rounds produced by Federal
Cartridge Company, a U.S. firm, which is the principal NATO round used by the
U.S. military and the FBI for sniper purposes.

During the deployment of a sniper team the unit consists of the
primary sniper, armed with a .308 caliber rifle, usually a Remington Model
700 BDL, and a spotter who carries a faster firing weapon capable of full
automatic fire, very often an M-16 rifle, the standard rifle of the U.S.
military, which fires the smaller .223 caliber round.

All of these casings were found by Rangers at what they
designated as "Undercover House A" in their 13-page report.

In recorded radio transmissions between those involved in
coordinating the Waco attack, the house was referred to as "Sierra 1."

Ironically, the ammunition used by FBI snipers in their .308
caliber rifles is Federal Gold match quality ammunition, which propels a
168-grain Sierra hollow-point bullet with accuracy.

Among the strange discoveries by the Texas Rangers was a single
22-250 caliber round recovered from the driveway of what they describe in the
report as "Undercover House B."

There is no known utilization of the 22-250 caliber round by
either the U.S. military or federal law enforcement agencies.
