"We survivors of 1993 are looking for David and all those that died either in the shootout or in the fire," says Clive Doyle, who acts as unofficial spokesperson for the group. "We believe that God will resurrect this special group."</p><p>Nine of the survivors were convicted on various charges related to the initial raid, but all are now out of federal prison. Paul Fatta, who was imprisoned for almost 13 years on weapons charges, says he still believes and "would like to see some divine intervention, for God to vindicate his people." And on the site of the doomed Waco complex, a new Branch Davidian community has sprung up. "The United States has to fall in order for the One World Order to be set up," says Charles Pace, the leader of the 12-strong community.
