Cambodian palace bombed by air force washout pilot
A Cambodian air force T28 trainer piloted by a flight-school washout bombed the Presidential Palace in Phnom Penh in an apparent assassination attempt on President Lon Nol. One bomb hit the palace courtyard and a nearby bar racks while Lon Nol was unharmed. U.S. Embassy officials identified the pilot as Capt. So Phaira, later saying motives were unclear. Casualty reports varied with initial figures suggesting hundreds killed or injured, though later details indicated many victims buried in debris.
