Nation IN BRIEF : NEW YORK : Trade Center Jury Sees Pieces of Van

Jurors in the World Trade Center bombing trial saw the first pieces of hard evidence in the case when a witness showed charred pieces of the vehicle believed to have held the fatal explosives. Jurors stood and leaned for a better view as Joseph Hanlin, an explosives enforcement officer with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and a federal prosecutor demonstrated how the blackened remains of the gear assembly and differential housing fit together. Hanlin, the 27th witness, described how he and other investigators found the parts near a crushed, burned-out vehicle frame on a garage ramp near the huge crater torn by the Feb. 26 blast.
