...focusing their attention on Kingman, Arizona, where McVeigh lived in a trailer park for five months last year with a pregnant girlfriend.

Government agents are examining soil samples and fragments from the area for clues that may link the Arizona explosion to McVeigh. According to the New York Times, authorities were alerted to the Arizona connection when they tracked the paperwork on his 9-mm Glock handgun.

...against the cult for offenses including unlawful confinement, assault and theft. The charges seemed to embolden local authorities, who were reported in the press to be investigating a cult hospital in Tokyo's Nakano neighborhood and allegations of electronic bugging in Yamanashi. The Nagano prefectural police, acting on the soil samples that so perturbed the cult's neighbors, have begun investigating Aum's link to the deaths in Matsumoto...
