Religious cult leader continues Waco siege
Koresh tells agents he received message from God to wait
The Associated Press
WACO, Texas — Federal agents setted in last night to wait for the end of a standoff with a heavily religious cult whose leader claims he is Jesus Christ and is waiting for God to tell him what to do.
As the siege continued for a fourth day, officials said Branch Davidian leader David Koresh might have more than 100 followers and a "massive weapons cache" inside his fortified compound.
Two elderly women who left the compound Tuesday had fired machine guns and other weapons during battles Sunday that left perhaps 14 people dead, authorities said. Charges were filed against the woman but later dropped, though they remained jailed as material witnesses.
Negotiations continued yesterday. A day earlier, Koresh had promised to immediately, peacefully end the deadlock after a 58-minute taped statement he made was played on radio stations.
"Koresh refused to honor his promise and has indicated he will keep his promise to come out when
he receives further instruction from God," FBI Agent Jeffrey Jamar said during the first briefing for reporters since Monday. "Korehs stated he had received a message from God instructing him to wait."
Jamar said officers aren't contemplating storming the compound.
"The goal is to resolve this situation ultimately in federal court with no further bloodshed," he said.
The cult is a well-trained, committed fighting force with a massive weapons cache at its disposal, Special Agent Earl Dumagan of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms in an affidavit.
Koresh has told federal law officers that his group would fight to the end, Dumagan said.
In his affidavit, Dunagan said the two women who left the compound Tuesday "did knowingly and willfully use weapons, including machine guns, to commit the violent crime of federal law enforcement officers."
In addition to four dead federal agents, at least 10 cult members were killed, a federal law enforcement source said on condition of anonymity.
Newspapers have reported the death toll may be even higher. Officials have confirmed only two deaths inside the compound; Koresh said he was wounded and his two-year-old daughter was killed.
