Three Americans Killed By Guerillas in Viet Nam Outpost
Viet Cong guerrillas overran a southern Viet Nam outpost, killing three American soldiers and nine South Vietnamese and wounding ten Vietnamese. Two of the Americans were infantry officers and the third an enlisted man. The post, 125 miles from Saigon, served as a command post for an operation. The attack comes as Viet Cong forces press a broader assault in the An Lao valley, with armored vehicles hit and fires burning around a district headquarters fortified by barbed wire.
