There was evidence that the leader (David Koresh) was abusing children, having sex with minors, etc.

The govt. forces (not the army, but armed Alcohol, Tobacco, and Fire Arms agents) attempted to storm the place, and were unsuccessful with a death or two.

After a seige of some 40 days, Janet Reno and Bill Clinton ordered the place to be stormed. They used a tank-like vehicle, equipped with some sort of tear-gas and a long nozzle - hoping to push the nozzle thru the walls and drive out the people with gas.

The tear-gas stuff turned out to be flamable, the whole place caught fire, and all the residents died.

Janet Reno bit the bullet - assuring us that she was totally responsible and Clinton barely knew it was happening.

There was testimony afterwards that Koresh regularly made shopping trips to town, and questions about why he was arrested in town.
