Viet Cong Attack Triggers US Air Raid Killing 15
Communist guerrillas fired on a U S Air Force spotter plane in the Mekong Delta and provoked an American retaliatory air raid that killed 15 civilians and wounded 182. The hamlet Chau Nhiem near Truong Than was shelled by two F100 jets after an attack on the spotter plane. Villagers fled but were blocked by guerrillas. Evacuation moved wounded eight miles to Can Tho City, treated at the US AID hospital.
