“ssu News digest Koresh’s body found in compound WACO, Texas—The body of cult leader David Koresh was identified among the people who died in a forti fied compound after a 51-day stand off with agents, authorities said Sun day. Koresh, 33, appeared to have suf fered a gunshot wound to the head, said Justice of the Peace DavidPareya. The cause of death was not released. His burned body was identified through X-rays and dental molds, Pareya said. Koresh’s body was found near the kitchen area of the compound, he said. Many of the of the other bodies were found in the same area. A deadly fire destroyed the Branch Davidian compound on April 19. In dependent investigators said cult members lit the fire, although some of the nine survivors said federal agents started it when a tank knocked over a lantern. Koresh had said 95 people were inside, making the death toll 86. Investigators have pulled only 72 bod ies from the rubble. Officials said it’s possible some bodies were inciner ated and will never be recovered. Koresh’s body was the sixth to be publicly identified by investigators. All showed evidence of being shot. He was among those wounded in the Feb. 28 gun battle that started the standoff. Cult members fired on fed eral agents trying to arrest Koresh and search the compound. The battle left four agents from the Bureau of Alco hol, Tobacco and Firearms and an unknown number of Branch Davidians dead. Seles recovering from stabbing HAMBURG,Germany—Monica Seles was released from a hospital and flew to the United States Sunday, two days after a man leaped from the stands and stabbed her in the back during a tournament match. The attack caused tennis officials to step up security, assigning body guards to shadow players during the remainder of the tournament. Secu rity was expected to be tighter at future events as well. Seles, 19, the top-ranked women’s player in the world, did not suffer a major injury, but she will miss one to three months of tennis. “I wantio thank all the people who have helped me over these last few difficult days,” Seles said in a state ment “The greetings and the best wishes I received from so many people arc a great support to me and I want every one to know how much itmeans to me and how much it has helped.” Her agent, Stephanie Tollcson, said Seles was feeling “a little better,” but would remain under medical supervision for an “undetermined period of time.” Her destination in the United States was not given. Seles was bom in Yugoslavia, but has lived in the United Slates since 1986. Her residence is in Sarasota, Fla. The man who attacked Seles told police he was an avid fan of Seles’ German rival, Steffi Graf, and could not bear seeing Seles* dominance. Hamburg police said the suspect was Gucnlcr P., 38, a lathe operator from Nordhausen in cast Germany. His last name was not released. They said he faced charges of attempted murder. Seles suffered a half-inch deep wound in the back which did not damage any vital organs. But doctors at Hamburg University hospital said she appeared to be psychologically shaken. - - 1 ■ " IN A WORLD OF UNCERTAINTY, ONE TH1IS SURE. r » «•»*' , # a j| i Mt* > l!

Christopher said he was hopeful but skeptical of the approval of an international peace plan Sunday by the leader of the Bosnian Serbs to end the ethnic war in the Balkans. In Washington, President Clinton released a statement calling approval of the peace plan a “positive step.” But he said he will continue planning for military force in case the Serbs “do not act in good faith." “We will judge intentions by ac tions," Clinton said in the statement. Administration officials arc con cerned that Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic’s signing of the international peace plan in Greece was an empty gesture to avoid mili tary action from the West. “The developments in the ... pro cess arc a positive step, but we have yet to dcicrm inc whether the Serbs arc serious about peace," Clinton said. “We wHI make that judgment based upon their actions on the ground in Bosnia." Meanwhile, Senate Republican Leader Bob Dole of Kansas said Clinton had decided on allied aerial attacks on Serbian positions and per mitting weapons to get to the outgunned Muslims in Bosnia Herzegovina. Dole said on ABCs “This Week With David Brinkley" that Clinton had called to tell him the two steps were the key elements in the new strategy Christopher is pressing the European allies and Russia to en dorse. -ri kSt i* * •' * Christopher spoke twice by tele phone to Clinton and then announced the United States would not be dc» terred in try ing to round up support Tor military measures against the Serbs. He said the Serbs had approved agreements in the past to end the fighting but then went on with the war. Clinton decided on Saturday to take U.S. strategy in a new and more forceful direction, although he re leased few details. While Christopher was cn route to London, Karadzic approved the plan to end the fighting and to establish 10 ethnic provinces in the former Yugoslav republic. |-NEWS BRIEFS Brooks to play at State Fair Country singcrCjarth Brooks will perform at the Nebraska Stale Fair on Sept. 8.
