FBI says bomb is cause
Associated Press
NEW YORK — The FBI confirmed yesterday that a bomb caused the explosion at the World Trade Center but was unable to say which place it. The investigation could take months.
Fox said agency explosives experts had concluded that a bomb caused Friday's lunch-hour blast that wrecked four underground floors and rattled the 110-story twin towers with earthquakelike force.
"We aren't going to complete this crime scene investigation for some time," said James Fox, head of the FBI's New York office. "A lot of people have been laid off recently. You've got some drug dealers upset with the U.S. government. It could be terrorists upset for other causes."
Officials said the twin wwers would be closed for at least one week until crews could repair vital communications and emergency services.
No structural damage occurred in the towers above ground, but all essential systems were lost in the explosion. The repair work is expected to take more than a week.
Yesterday, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said at a news conference that there had been 40 telephone calls claiming responsibility for the blast, which killed five people and injured more than 1,000 others. Two people are still missing.
The explosion occurred two floors underground in a strategic location that destroyed communications, security systems and primary and backup power.

Federal agents killed during cult shootout
The Associated Press
WACO, Texas — A fierce gun battle erupted yesterday as more than 100 law officers tried to arrest the leader of a heavily armed religious cult. At least four federal agents and two cult members were killed.
At least 15 agents were injured in the 45-minute shootout.
Authorities had a warrant to search the Branch Davidians' compound for guns and explosives and an arrest warrant for its leader, Vernon Howell, said Les Stanford of the Bureau of
The federal bureau estimated that 75 people were in the group, about a third of them children.
Howell, who claims to be Jesus Christ, has led the cult since the mid-1980s.
Two agents were pronounced dead upon arrival at Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center in Waco, while another died at the hospital and a fourth died at Providence Hospital, officials at the two hospitals said.
The assault came one day after the Waco Tribune-Herald began publishing a series on the cult, quoting former members as saying the 33-year-old Howell may have abused children of group members and claimed Howell has at least 15 wives.
Yesterday's shootout was the second at the compound. Howell and seven cut members were accused of shooting a police officer in 1987 gun battle with a former leader.
Charges against Howell were dismissed after his trial ended with a mistrial.
