The specks of PETN "could have; come from the lab itself or trom mil itary personnel who used the air craft, an official said. PETN found far from blast The two tiny traces of PETN Were found on debris from parts of the air craft far from where a potential bomb would have ignited, and were sitting on the wreckage rather than being imbedded from a blast, offi cials said. As a result, experts are now turning back to the idea that a malfunction may have led to the midair de struction of the 747.

An FBI spokeswoman in Washing ton said the Bureau would answer no questions about the laboratory' in Quantico, Va. Since 1994, an FBI whistleblower, Frederic Whitehurst, has charged that the laboratory had major problems with the integrity of evidence and findings by FBI technicians.

The FBI on Friday reissued a statement on the Whitehurst allegations that said, "The FBI is fully cooperating with the inspector general. "To date the FBI has found no evidence tampering, evidence fabrica tion or failure to report exculpatory evidence, the statement said.

McVeigh's attorneys charged last week that the federal government is trying to intimidate Whitehurst to keep him from leveling allegations that would aid McVeigh's case. "Dr. Whitehurst's ability to speak freely concerning problems at the FBI's Laboratory which impact upon the investigation into the case against Timothy McVeigh is critical," the lawyers said in a motion. be Nov. 9 and 23.

Must complete recommended treatment By Scripps Howard News Service WASHINGTON, D.C. The FBI's world-famous crime lab may have become so contaminated that its findings could be in jeopardy on major cases including the Oklahoma City bombing and the destruction of TWA Flight 800.

Law enforcement officials fear that traces of explosives have blown through the lab "like a virus," contaminating surfaces and equipment That would mean evidence brought into the lab might pick up traces of explosives already there, rendering the evidence and the criminal cases worthless. Federal law enforcement officials said the contamination may have led to false conclusions earlier this summer that a chemical used in plastic explosives, PETN, was found in debris from Flight 800. And court documents show the defense team for accused Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh plans to focus on the laboratory in efforts to undermine the FBI's case. Evidence of contamination In a motion filed in federal court in Colorado earlier this month, the McVeigh defense team claimed that two FBI experts had found evidence of contamination at the FBI laboratory. The motion said, "Brett Mills, FBI laboratory examiner, has stated that an area in the FBI laboratory that was used to store evidence collected in connection with this case was contaminated with PETN." Also, according to the motion, "Dr.

Mary Tungol (an FBI laboratory employee) has stated that she believes that evidence taken from Timothy McVeigh's car was contaminated." Robert Nigh, one of McVeigh's attorneys, declined Friday to provide details of the Mills and Tungol state: ments. But he said that the defense team plans to take sworn testimony from both before the trial.
