Cult standoff continues
Source says death toll is at least 14
The Associated Press
WACO, Texas—An armed religious cult's leader failed to surrender as promised yesterday, and military vehicles surrounded his compound as a standoff dragged on into a third night. A source said the death toll was at least 14.
Authorities have confirmed that four federal agents and at least two people inside the compound were killed in gun battles Sunday. But a federal official, speaking on condition of anonymity, yesterday said that at least 10 were dead inside the compound.
Officials have said about 75 people were in the compound, but cult leader David Koresh has claimed more.
Since the siege began, 18 children and two adults have been released, and last night, Bryan Gilbert, representative for the state Children's Protective Service, said as many as 20 more children could be released
Later, several buses and minivans left the compound, but federal agents said the activity was merely a shift change.
In a 58-minute taped statement broadcast earlier yesterday on Texas radio stations at the FBI's request, the cult leader said, "I, David Koresh, agree upon the broadcasting of this tape to come out peacefully with all the people immediately."
"Even a man like Christ has to meet with unbelief," said Koresh, 33, who says he's Jesus.
"I'm sure you're all aware of how I'm involved in a very serious thing right now," Koresh said. "I am really concerned about the lives of my brethren here and also really concerned even greater about the lives of all those in this world."
wait "a long time We don't have a time frame for this." He added that the cult members likely had plenty of food and water, but officials were "working so it does not go on for a month."
The siege began Sunday morning as about 100 AFT agents raided the compound, seeking to serve firearms violations warrants on Koresh. Authorities said four agents and one child inside the compound — who Koresh said was his 2-year-old daughter — died in that raid. Another gun battle Sunday night left an adult cult member dead.
Buses and other military vehicles moved nearer within minutes of the broadcast's start. But hours after the broadcast ended, Koresh hadn't surrendered.
Negotiations with him continued into the night, Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms spokesman Jack Killorin said. He said agents were prepared to
Koresh told a radio station he had been gravely wounded Sunday.
The Houston Chronicle, quoting unidentified sources, reported that children released from the compound said at least seven people inside were killed in the firefight. The newspaper also said agents believed they had killed as many as 15 people.
He began letting children out late Sunday after a station agreed to broadcast a statement by him. He released eight more Tuesday before his radio statement. Two women also left, the first adults to leave the compound.

Videotapes may solve Trade Center bombing
NEW YORK — A newly discovered videotape of cars coming and going at the World Trade Center parking garage could yield clues to who planted the bomb that rocked the twin towers. Additional video cameras may be buried in the rubble.
James Fox, head of the FBI's New York office, said Monday that some cameras were missing but that he didn't know how many.
Investigators said theories for the bombing range from a terrorist attack to revenge by a disgruntled employee. Investigators are still unsure what kind of explosive killed at least five people and injured more than 1,000.
Investigators have pegged the bomb to weigh up to 1,500 pounds, depending on what type of explosive was used.
NBC fires news executive following 'Dateline' incident
The tape could be important because experts believe the bomb was so large it would "test the springs of any car or any van," making it conscious on the tape. Fox said.
NEW YORK — NBC ousted Michael Gartner as president of the news division yesterday, making him the first casualty of the "Dateline NBC" debacle.
Gartner, 54, a former Wall Street Journal editor and owner of several Iowa newspapers, said he would resign as president and leave the network on Aug. 1. The resignation was also announced briefly on the network's "Today" show.
"Given the publicity of life, I think it best to announce it now in hopes that this will take the spotlight off of all of us and enable us to concentrate fully on our business," Gartner wrote in a memorandum to his staff.
Despite that memo and news accounts that Gartner was resigning, NBC President and Chief Executive Officer Robert Wright had demanded Gartner's resignation over the weekend, according to an NBC source, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Perot wants details to deficit reduction
WASHINGTON — The United States cannot afford to continue "massive, dreamlike spending programs" until the nation's deficit is controlled, and Clinton's plan is lacking details of how to reduce it, Ross Perot said yesterday.
"I can't understand the details of the plan," Perot said on "CBS This Morning." Citing newspaper accounts that the Clinton proposal would add $1 trillion to the national debt over four years, Perot said. "If that's true, then that's not a good plan.
"We need a detailed plan for the American people to see, a detailed timing of when these things will occur, when we will get our debt and deficit down."
Perot's morning TV appearance was a precursor to appearances on Capitol Hill later in the day.
