Cult releases another child
The Associated Press
WACO, Texas — Members of a heavily-armed religious cult let another of their children leave their fortified but police-encircled compound yesterday.
"That makes a total of 20 children and two adults released so far," said FBI special agent Jef. famar.
The child was believed to be the older brother of a boy who left Wednesday night, said Franceska Perot, representative for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
Negotiators continued trying to resolve the standoff. Eighteen children, 47 women and 43 men remained in the Mount Carmel compound of the Branch Davidian sect.
Federal agents raided the compound Sunday attempting to serve illegal weapons warrants on sect leader David Koresh. They pulled
back after four agents were killed and 16 were wounded. A federal source speaking on condition of anonymity said that at least 10 cultists had been killed.
Jamar said a helicopter survey had found the body of an unidentified man in a wooded area on the 77-acre compound, about 350 yards from the buildings where the cultists live. Officers in two armored personnel carriers recovered the body Thursday and took it to a forensic lab in Fort Worth, officials said.
Neither Jamar nor bureau deputy associate director Dan Conroy would say whether the man had been killed in Sunday's raid.
"He was the victim of gunshot wounds. Basically, that's all I can say," Conroy said.
Federal authorities were digging in for a possibly lengthy stay.
bune-Herald she was afraid Koresh must be planning to die Friday. Koresh, who has claimed to be Jesus Christ, is 33, the age of Christ when he was crucified.
"We're concerned about all of these issues and are taking them into consideration," said Dan Hartnett, associate director of the bureau.

Earlier in the week, Koresh claimed in a radio interview to have been wounded in Sunday's 45-minute gun battle. Asked about his condition now, Jamar replied: "He seems to have recovered miraculously."
Jamar said cutting off electricity to the compound was an option that hasn't been exercised yet.
The Houston Chronicle reported yesterday that agents were preparing to wage "psychological war" against the cult. "Everything (Koresh) is used to, they'll disrupt," it quoted a federal agent as saying.
