Exactly how the government got Fortier to agree to testify is not clear. But TIME has obtained a vivid account of how investigators persuaded McVeigh's sister Jennifer to provide the prosecution with two typewritten statements, even though she is fiercely loyal to her elder brother (she is 21, Timothy 27).

Medina says that a Chase account was used to launder the Cali funds...
Clinton administration officials say they have U.S. spy plane photo evidence of what could be a mass grave near Srebrenica. Some 10,000 Muslim men have been missing sinceSerbs swept through the region since last month. The photo may serve to confirm an earlier account by eyewitnesses from the eastern enclaves who claimed to have escaped from a warehouse where Serbs took refugees outside in large groups to be shot at the edge of mass graves. Assistant Secretary of State John Shattuck said today a fact-finding trip to central and northeastern Bosnia last week turned up numerous eyewitness accounts...
