Share
From Times Staff and Wire Reports

A suspect was arrested after an arson attack on an Albuquerque abortion clinic was videotaped by a hidden camera operated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. The surveillance camera is only one of “many audio and video” devices now in use at clinics around the country as an alternative to stationing federal marshals to protect the clinics, one official said. Atty. Gen. Janet Reno last July ordered U.S. marshals to protect the clinics after the killing of an abortion provider in Florida.
