However it happened, though, Dudayev is gone. Yeltsin has said publicly that his re-election could depend on the outcome of the Chechen war; and in the short term, the elimination of the charismatic rebel, who had turned himself into a personal nemesis for Yeltsin, may look like a success and give the President a boost. In the longer run, the abrupt end of Dudayev's one-man leadership could result in splits and instability among the Chechen rebel commanders and make a settlement even harder to reach.

McVeigh's fingerprints were found on a receipt for 40 one-fifth-pound bags of ammonium nitrate fertilizer--the chief ingredient in the Oklahoma bomb--that the FBI discovered at Nichols' home in Kansas, where they also found detonator cords with blasting caps. After McVeigh's arrest, traces of explosives were detected on his clothing and in his car. Prosecutors will argue that McVeigh and Nichols stashed the fertilizer in rented storage facilities, then mixed and assembled their bomb in a park near Nichols' farm. To clinch its case, the prosecution does...
