The Persian Gulf War (Operation Desert Slaughter) begins: United Nations coalition air forces bomb Iraq, including its water and sewage facilities, fully aware it will result in the spread of infectious diseases among the civilian population.

       NOTE: During the war Iraq’s sewage treatment and water infrastructure was destroyed.  The post-war death toll from contaminated water, infectious diseases, malnutrition and economic sanctions was over 500,000.

       Randall Claude “Randy” Weaver, a subsistence hunter, in Boundary County, idaho, and his wife Vicki, are traveling into town, when they encounter a man and woman stranded beside the roadside camper-truck apparently with engine trouble.  When the Weavers stop to help agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, who arrest them on a Federal firearm violation, immediately overwhelm them.  The act with which Randy Weaver is accused of having committed was peaceful (no victim), lawful (under the constitution of idaho, article I, section 11).  Upon their release on bond the Weavers vow never again to have any more dealing with the Federal courts.
