The Waco Siege (also known as the Waco Massacre) began on February 28, 1993 when the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) attempted to execute a search warrant at the Branch Davidian ranch at Mount Carmel, a property located nine miles (14 km) east-northeast of Waco, Texas. An exchange of gunfire resulted in the deaths of four agents and six followers of David Koresh.

  • The Waco Siege (also known as the Waco Massacre) began on February 28, 1993 when the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) attempted to execute a search warrant at the Branch Davidian ranch at Mount Carmel, a property located nine miles (14 km) east-northeast of Waco, Texas. An exchange of gunfire resulted in the deaths of four agents and six followers of David Koresh. A subsequent 51-day siege by the Federal Bureau of Investigation ended on April 19 when fire destroyed the compound. Seventy-six people (24 of them British nationals) died in the fire, including more than 20 children and two pregnant women, along with Davidian leader Vernon Wayne Howell, better known as David Koresh.
  • Jako obležení Waco (někdy též Waco masakr anglicky Waco Siege, Waco Massacre) je známa událost, která se odehrála mezi 28. únorem a 19. dubnem 1993 na kopci zvaném Mt. Carmel asi 14 km severovýchodně od města Waco v americkém státě Texas mezi členy náboženské odnože Branch Davidians vedené Davidem Koreshem a pracovníky amerického státního úřadu pro alkohol, tabák a střelné zbraně (United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, ATF) a později i FBI a národní gardou USA.
  • Wacon piiritys alkoi ATF-virkailijoiden yritettyä kotietsintää Daavidin oksa -järjestön tiloista 28. helmikuuta 1993 Wacossa Teksasin osavaltiossa. Etsintä johti tulitaisteluun jossa kuoli neljä ATF-virkailijaa ja kuusi Daavidin oksa -kirkon jäsentä. Tapauksen jälkeen FBI ryhtyi 51 päivää kestäneeseen piiritykseen joka loppui 19. huhtikuuta 1993 kun Daavin oksa -kirkon tiloissa syttyi tulipalo, jossa kuoli 76 henkilöä, mukaan lukien 20 lasta ja kaksi raskaana olutta naista. Myös Daavidin oksan johtaja David Koresh kuoli tulipalossa. Kirkon tiloihin varastoidut ammukset ja räjähteet pahensivat tulipaloa. Tulipalon syttymisestä on syytetty FBI:n käyttämiä kyynelkaasukranaateja. FBI myönsi kranaattien käytön 1999, vaikka FBI-puhemies oli kiistänyt niiden käytön kaikissa aikaisemmissa haastatteluissa.
  • Le siège de Waco est une tragédie qui s'est déroulée du 28 février au 19 avril 1993 dans la résidence du groupe religieux des « Davidiens » près de la ville de Waco au Texas, États-Unis. 82 personnes dont 21 enfants et le leader du groupe, David Koresh, périrent, principalement dans l'incendie qui mit un terme aux 51 jours de siège par les forces de police. L'affaire est considérée comme un des événements les plus catastrophiques de l'histoire américaine moderne, l'action la plus meurtrière du gouvernement américain contre ses propres citoyens depuis la guerre de Sécession. Les controverses soulevées par la gestion du conflit se poursuivent à ce jour.
  • Da det amerikanske føderale byrået BATF skulle ransake sekten Branch Davidians eiendom på Mount Carmel utenfor Waco, Texas i februar 1993 brøt det ut intens ildutveksling. FBI ble kalt inn og omringet Mount Carmel i 51 dager, før saken fikk sitt tragiske utfall: 79 menn, kvinner og barn døde i et flammehav inne i hovedbygningen på Mount Carmel. Det knytter seg stor ueninghet rundt viktige punkter på hendelsesforløpet, og det er kontroverser om skyldspørsmålene den dag i dag.
  • Горящее поместье «Маунт Кармел» 19 апреля 1993 года. Кадр из фильма Waco:The Rules Of Engagement Осада «Маунт Кармел» (Осада Уэйко; англ. Waco Siege) — осада силами Федерального бюро расследований США поместья «Маунт Кармел» в Уэйко, Техас, где находились члены религиозной секты «Ветвь Давидова» в 1993 году. Во время событий погибло 79 членов секты, в том числе 21 ребёнок и её лидер Дэвид Кореш. Осада продолжалась 50 дней и закончилась штурмом, в котором принимало участие около 700 человек при поддержке танков и вертолётов. Во время штурма в поместье начался пожар. Согласно официальной версии, сектанты подожгли себя сами. Оставшиеся в живых и критики утверждали, что пожар произошел в результате применения взрывоопасного газа.

Meydana gelen karşılıklı silahlı çatışma sonucunda dört ATF ajanı ve altı kült mensubu yaşamını yitirdi. Federal Araştırma Bürosu'nun 51 gün süren kuşatması, 19 Nisan'da çiftliğin yanarak tahrip edilmesiyle sona erdi. Aralarında 21 çocuğun, iki hamile kadının ve kült lideri David Koresh'in de bulunduğu 76 kişinin yaşamını yitirdiği olay, Waco Katliamı veya Waco Kuşatması olarak adlandırılmaktadır.
