Ms. McVeigh, who recently said in an interview she doesn't know if her brother is innocent, provided jurors with a mountain of circumstantial evidence that Tim was in the frame of mind to take revenge for the government's actions at Waco. Her composure disappeared in a grueling cross-examination as the defense tried to show she had been intimidated by an arduous eight consecutive days of FBI interrogation after the bombing. Crying and dabbing her tears with tissue, she told jurors federal agents had placed blown-up pictures...

In the spring of 1996, when the Montana Freemen holed up in their compound near Billings, FBI agents were under far stricter rules of engagement. They could...

While a few federal agents have joined local and state law enforcement officials, they have tried to keep a low profile so far, anxious to avoid a repetition of Waco.
