The burning of two black churches in Clarendon county, S.C, last year may be a case of extremist terrorism. Clarendon county Sheriff Hoyt Collins said Welch was carrying a membership card for the Christian knights of the KKK when he was arrested. Federal authorities are considering civil-rights charges against them, and FBI agents are investigating the possibility that the Clarendon county arsons are connected to other church fires.
The reality is that the federal task force is entering a quagmire. Arson is always a tough crime to investigate, and the evidence in many of these cases is getting old; some may never be solved with some 300,000 churches nationwide, there are approximately 600 cases of arson against church buildings every year. The overall trend is down, although not among black churches in the rural South. Many of these churches are older wooden buildings—tinder-boxes located on country roads miles from police and fire departments. They are extremely vulnerable to arson and, because they burn so quickly, often destroy evidence of the crime as well.
The black clergy who descended on Washington a week ago are deeply skeptical of ATF. One reason is that ATF agents who know from experience that about half of all arsons are inside jobs—have questioned and in some cases polygraph black churchmen search of leads. "they strapped a lie detector on me and asked me if I burned the church", says Harold Smith, assistant pastor at the Inner city in Knoxville, Tenn. "When your life is in the ministry.., it hurts to be asked questions like this". Aggressive investigative tactics have already led to trouble at the top. Told that federal prosecutors had subpoenaed some black clergymen in a search for inside suspects, Attorney General Reno reportedly blew her stack and ordered to top-level summit meeting to set limits on the field agents tactics.
As administration officials struggled to meet Clinton’s declared goal of bringing racially motivated arsons to a halt, new fires destroyed black churches in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Greenville, Texas. These fires inspired White House aides to scramble Clinton’s travel schedule to allow the stop in Green Leyville, South Carolina—where Clinton, in his familiar role as the nation’s consoler-in-chief, delivered a moving speech at the dedication of a black church that was burned out last year. But even Jackson acknowledged that Clinton must walk a fine line.
Too much crusading by this president could prompt even more arsons by the loose cannons of the ultra right. Given the weird admixture of racism and simple loneness that lay behind these crimes, prayerful caution—and even a measure of forgiveness—seemed the wisest stance. "We want the world to know we are not angry with anyone", said Rev. A. Baldwin, summing up the tragedy, in Enid "we are a loving church. But it just broke my heart."
选项
A、the Clarendon county are connected to other church fires
B、the burning of churches may be caused by terrorists

D、FBI agents are not involved in the case
答案
B
