The federal government executed Timothy Mcveigh Monday. Witnesses said McVeigh made no verbal statement and, after sitting up slight to look at the witnesses in the eye, laid back and stared at the ceiling as three separate drugs were administered to him, putting him to sleep, stopping his breathing and stopping his heart. The broadcast was electronically encrypted so it could not be intercepted.
Witnesses say there was no display of emotion in the room.
A car bomb wounded a member of the Palestinian militant group as fresh violence stoked tensions shortly before a meeting was due to start on Monday evening. The U.S. pressed on with efforts to broker a lasting cease-fire between Israel and Palestinians on Monday, securing an agreement that the two sides' security chiefs would meet. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against a school in upstate New York for not permitting a Christian club from meeting on school grounds while allowing other outside groups to meet. Flooding rains from the remnants of Tropical Storm Allison have contributed to 18 deaths in Louisiana and Texas. As the flood waters subside, authorities are beginning the task of cleaning up and restoring power.
