DENVER: Stephen Jones scored points in his cross-examination of Michael Fortier, charging that Timothy McVeigh's friend changed his story, his clothes and demeanor for the sake of obscuring his own involvement in the Oklahoma bombing. Two years ago, a scruffy Fortier sported a beard and earring. His speech was littered with vulgarities. On an FBI wiretap recording soon after the attack, Fortier boasted to a friend of making money by being the government's star witness. But over the past two days in court, in a new suit and haircut, the clean-shaven Fortier answered many questions with...
...Peruvian President who had to use force to end the four-month siege of the Japanese embassy in Lima. Officials took every precaution in the standoff, not least because Texas is the place that saw the Waco conflagration.

A calm, collected Ms. McVeigh told jurors Tuesday that she received a letter from her brother Tim a few weeks before the explosion promising "something big is going to happen in the month of the bull," an apparent astrological reference to April. Never asking what that something was, she followed her brother's instructions and burned the letter. The 23-year-old college student also recalled...
DENVER: A key government witness in the Oklahoma City bombing trial told jurors that Timothy McVeigh sat in her living room several months before the attack and described his plan to blow up the Alfred P. Murrah building. "He said it was an easy target," recalled Lori Fortier, the wife of McVeigh's close friend Michael Fortier. Mrs. Fortier said that during the conversation, which took place in October 1994 in the Fortier's Arizona mobile home, McVeigh drew a diagram, using soup cans to illustrate how he planned to bundle the bomb in a shaped triangular charge for maximum...
