Tan Chau Devastated Ghost Town After Shelling
Tan Chau in the Mekong Delta sits nearly empty as steel shutters padlock shops. About four-fifths of its 30,000 residents have fled after weeks of shelling by North Vietnamese and Viet Cong batteries near the Cambodian border. More than 80 killed and 260 wounded. Remaining residents cling to edges of town, some workers in dying silk and fishing. An international team has investigated shellings but cannot stop them. U.S. sources say the shelling is meant to harass troops before an occupation bid, while a South Vietnamese soldier calls it a pilot project to scare residents.
