...York Times reported Friday that tensions between the attorney general and FBI director Louis Freeh ?- which have been mounting since he publicly second-guessed her on the issue of opening independent counsel investigations into campaign finance and nuclear espionage ?- had reached a breaking point over Waco. Reno?s anger is understandable: After staking her credibility on a version of events at Waco which denied that federal agents had fired potentially incendiary tear gas rounds, Ms. Reno found herself in limbo last week after a former agent revealed that the FBI had indeed fired military-issue CS gas canisters...

Even more bizarre ? and possibly self-destructive ?- were the government?s moves to stop relief efforts by Islamic organizations...
Militant members of the Kosovo Liberation Army, whose campaign for independence was left in limbo after NATO took control of the province, have made the traditionally pro-Serb Russian forces the target of their anger over the past two months. The Russians have been furious both about attacks on their own personnel and over the continuing ethnic cleansing targeted against the province?s dwindling Serb population.
