U.S. helicopters evacuate
Americans from Liberia
MONROVIA, Liberia (AP)—The
first U.S. helicopters flew intc
Monrovia on' Tuesday and begar
evacuating Americans from the cha
otic capital, in the grips of fierce rebe
fighting. /
Twenty-six Americans, including
two children, were on the first flight tc
arrive safely late Tuesday in neighbor
ing Freetown, Sierra Leone — a two
hour flight from Monrovia — U.S
officials there said.
The Fighting that broke out Satur
day was the worst in Monrovia sinci
1993. Liberia, which was founded ir
1847 by freed American slaves, ha:
been wracked by civil war since 1990
the fighting broken occasionally bj
truces that collapse within a matter o
weeks.
Late Tuesday, State Departmcm
officials said they expect the hclicop
lers to continue shuttling Americans
out of Liberia. There are 470 Ameri
cans holed up in the West Africar
country.
But, one official said, “We want tc
avoid use of the word evacuation.’
The Pentagon is concerned that ar
unstable situation could develop if ai
this point there is a formal announce
ment of an evacuation, the official
said.
Some 15,000 people, many of then'
1 foreigners, have crowded into a U.S.
1 Embassy compound since Monday
i seeking safety from the worst fighting
in three years.
State Department spokesman Glyn
Davies said U.S. helicopters were ready
I to take out all of the Americans who
i wish to leave Monrovia. The helicop
■ ters can carry about 25 passengers
• each.
“The several helicopters that arc
there, that have brought in the military
■ assessment team, will not go back to
: Freetown empty i fwc have anything to
i do about it,” Davies said. “We want to
: make sure that American citizens are
, given the opportunity on those heli
r copters to leave the country if they
[' wish.”
U.S. Embassy spokesman Dudley
Sims had no details on how any further
evacuation would be carried out cx
i ccpt to say it could take several days.
In Freetown, more than 100 U.S.
special forces from the Air Force and
Army — some from Germany, some
i from other places —and at least four
MH-53 helicopters were spotted at the
Lungi international airport. The air
port seemed largely taken over by the
U.S. troops, which totaled about 200.
A couple of Humvees, C-130 cargo
planes and one C-141 cargo plane were
i also seen at the airport outside
Freetown, where the first Americans
to be evacuated landed without inci
dent Tuesday night.
All the soldiers were in camou
flage, dressed in flak jackets and car
rying maps of Monrovia.
Navy Cmdr. Bob Anderson, a
spokesman for the U.S. European Com
mand in Germany who is with the
evacuation team in Freetown, said the
airlift would continue throughout the
night and that the Americans would be
flown to Dakar, Senegal, because there
were few accommodations available
in Freetown.
The fighting in Monrovia erupted
Saturday, when rebel factions and gov
ernment troops engaged in fierce
battles for portions of the city. The
conflict among seven rebel factions
has killed more than 150,000 people
and left at least half the country’s 2.3
million residents homeless in six years
of war. *
Rebels were reportedly holding
hundreds of foreigners, including West
African peacekeepers, at a military
barracks in the capital. Pentagon
spokesman Kenneth Bacon said about
110 of the 470 Americans in Liberia
are at the U.S. Embassy compound
and the others arc at various com
pounds elsewhere in the capital.
Oklahoma City bombing lawyer seeks
evidence of international conspiracy
DENVER (AP) — Timothy
McVeigh’s lawyer asked for access to
government intelligence filesTuesday
on the Ku Klux KJan, European neo
Nazis and Midcast terrorist groups,
hoping to show the Oklahoma City
bombing was the product of a far
fiung conspiracy.
But a federal prosecutor insisted
investigators have no evidence the
bombing that killed 168 people and
injured more than 500 others was the
work of foreign governments or ter
rorists.
McVeigh and co-defendant Terry
Nichols arrived at a courthouse se
cured by police convoys and electronic
scanners. It was the first hearing in the
case in Denver since a federal judge
moved the bombing trial from Okla
homa.
Prosecutor Beth Wilkinson ac
knowledged the government at first
put intelligence agencies to work on
international angles to the bombing of
Oklahoma City’s federal building.
But she said that within two days of
the attack, “the government learned
through the FBI’s diligent investiga
tion that the bombinghad been carried
out by a U.S. citizen.”
“As of today, we have no informa
tion showing anyone but Mr. Nichols
and Mr. McVeigh were the master
minds of this bombing,” she said.
Stephen Jones, McVeigh’s attor
ney, said if that is true, it is because
intelligence agencies quit searching
alter McVeigh’s arrest.
The attorneys argued over a de
fense request for classified in forma
lion from the CIA and other govern
ment agencies about their brief search
for a foreign culprit. Jones says the
government has intelligence data on
neo-Nazis in Britain and Germany;
terrorist groups in Sudan, Iraq, Iran
and Northern Ireland; and the Aryan
Nation, The Order and other white
supremacist groups.
He also is seeking purported state
ments from witnesses whose descrip
tion of the suspects did not match
McVeigh. A list of 176rcqucstcd items
was submitted to U.S. District Judge
Richard Matsch on Monday.
In other developments:
• Prosecutors agreed to turn over
letters from FBI agent Frederic
Whitehurst, who tested McVeigh’s
clothes for traces of explosives.
Whitehurst has claimed that investiga
tors faked evidence in the bombing
case.
• Attorneys for both Nichols and
McVeigh said they would seek sepa
rate trials. Jones said the defenses for
the two men would be different. A
hearing on the matter is set for Aug.
27.
• W ilkinson acknowledged defense
assertions that “inert explosives” were
being stored in the federal building at
the time of the attack. She said the
explosives were being used as training
devices by the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, and Firearms and were not
armed at the time.
