Bob Marley is one of the biggest musical
icons worldwide. His musical philosophy
transcends any musical genre, ethnic
group or political culture. To fulfill his
father’s dream to reach the mainstream
urban audience, Stephen Marley was
compelled to create a unique musical
collaboration incorporating his dad’s
songs and allowing other artists for the
first time to sing the songs of Bob Marley
WITH Bob Marley. This joining of original
recordings with vocals from today’s
chart topping superstars brings a
contemporary, urban edge to the tracks.

RENO
WASHINGTON (AP) — The special counsel re-inves
tigating the 1993 Branch Davidian siege
has asked the FBI to turn over the
firearms its on-scene personnel carried,
in a bid to determine whether federal
agents fired shots during the deadly
standoff’s waning hours.
The government has long denied
that its agents fired any shots during
the seven-week standoff, which end
ed when an inferno destroyed the Da-
vidians’ compound. Cult leader David
Koresh and some 80 followers died during the blaze,
some from the fire, others from gunshot wounds.
While the FBI and Justice Department always have
maintained that the Branch Davidians died by their own
hands, independent filmmakers, lawyers for survivors
who are suing the government and others skeptical of
the claim contend that government agents aimed gun
fire on the compound.
Special counsel John Danforth, whom Attorney Gen
eral Janet Reno appointed in September to investigate
the revived controversy, has said the issue of govern
ment gunfire will be among the “dark questions” he
seeks to answer.
TWo weeks ago, Danforth asked the federal judge pre
siding over the Davidians’ wrongful-death lawsuit to or
der an impartial simulation of the FBI’s infrared video
taping during the siege to determine whether bursts of
light captured on the original tapes came from gunfire
from federal agents.
Now, he is asking the FBI to turn overlu
jntinue leadinj
firearms for ballistics tests.

Report: Mexico among least like
to comply in child abduction cm
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Mexico
is among the nations least likely to
comply with an international agree
ment for the return of children ab
ducted by their own parents, an up
coming congressional report says.
The report singles out Mexico,
Austria, Honduras, Mauritius and
Sweden as “the most serious” vio
lators of the agreement regarding
international parental-child abduc
tions, the San Antonio Express-
News reported yesterday.
A final version of the report is
expected in January.
The U.S. State Department re
ported this month that at least 750
children have been abducted by
parents and taken to Mexico since
1991. It is the No. 1 destination —
followed by Canada and Europe —
for parents fleeing the United States
with snatched children.
Norma Luna, who lives in Buda
near Austin, never suspected Texas’
southern neighbor would become a
hideaway for her now-missing
daughter, Laura, and hundreds of
other children taken from the coun
try after often bitter custody battles.
“I love her and miss her; I am
willing to do anything to get her
back," a tearful Luna said. Her 7-
year-old daughter has been miss
ing two years.
Her father, Joel Garcia, is sus
pected of taking her to the Mexican
border state of Tamaulipas. They
may be living in the capital, Ciudad
Victoria, or Rio Bravo, a city near
Matamoros across the Rio Grande
from Brownsville.
Officials say problems can arise
when parents have dual citizenship
and when a court order from one
country pertains to a child in an
other country.
Jess Ford, director of interna
tional affairs for the U.S i
Accounting Office, theinves
arm of Congress, said the
government has had mix?:
