Reds Obvious Intelligence Tip Flawed Viet Nam Helicopter Strike
WASHINGTON AP US military officials said the Viet Cong ambush in South Vietnam shows a persisted intelligence failure in the war. Up to 600 guerrillas lay in wait as 14 helicopters attacked, with five shot down and three Americans killed. Vietnamese forces later flushed about 400 rebels from near the ambush site amid heavy fighting. Officials say both sides rely on intelligence agents and surprise remains a key factor in helicopter operations.
