Texas IRS Building Attacked in Suicide Flight
---------------------------------------------



Back in the United States, an Internal Revenue Service building was set
afire Thursday after a small plane crashed into it in an apparent
suicide attack. The pilot of the plane, Joseph Stack, and an
unidentified federal employee inside the building were killed. Before
flying the plane, Stack set his own home on fire and left behind a
rambling suicide note denouncing the IRS and corporate bailouts. In
addition to the dead IRS employee, at least thirteen people were
wounded, two in critical condition.
