NPR's Wade Goodwyn reports that, more than nine months after explosion destroying the federal office the mystery of John Doe #2 remains. Immediately after the explosion, the FBI release two sketches, one was ID'd as John McVeigh and, despite a massive manhunt the other was never found. Some federal prosecutors hint that there was no John Doe II, but NPR interviews five people who believe they saw him with McVeigh, and the other defendant, Terry Nichols. (12:30) CUTAWAY 1C 0:59 1D 7. AFRICA POLICY - Linda talks with Thomas L. Friedman, foreign affairs columnist for the New York Times, about his recent trip accompanying Madeleine Albright to African nations on a mission of "preventive diplomacy." Albright is the U-S Ambassador to the United Nations. One country they visited of particular concern is Burundi, where Tutsis have been persecuting Hutus. The Hutu tribe makes up 85 percent of Burundi's population and the Tutsi, 15 percent. The Tutsi control the army and the government. Many observers fear an explosion of violence similar to the genocide in Rwanda in 1994.
