Buddhist Hierarchy Resumes Drive Against Premier
Buddhist leaders in Saigon announce plans to resume protests against Premier Tran Van Wuong after a purge toppled the High National Council. Thich Nhat Thien warned that Buddhists will use every method, including self sacrifice, to achieve their aims as martial law expands amid a string of security alarms following the Christmas Eve bombing. The crisis widens with U.S. casualties, tightened defenses, and accusations of government provocation and Communist Viet Cong involvement.
