Branch Davidians dedicate healing church at Waco site
In Waco Texas a new Branch Davidian church hosted a dedication that honored 82 deaths from the 1993 siege. Survivor Clive Doyle read names and ages, including David Koresh and his daughter Shari, as a volunteer effort funded the church and a new flag replaced the former symbol captured by federal agents. The event followed a wrongful death suit against the government and a June trial date. Former ATF agent Robert Rodriguez attended to honor agents killed at the compound.
