Surprise Raid Kills 13 in Mekong Delta
In the Mekong Delta a Communist force ambushed a 100 to 150 man South Vietnamese ranger unit, killing 13 and wounding 10 before dawn. Five enemy soldiers were killed and two captured as reinforcements returned fire from helicopters and artillery. Two more ranger soldiers died in follow-up contacts, with eight additional enemy killed and five captured reported later. A separate sweep near Saigon netted 11 Viet Cong dead and wounded two Vietnamese soldiers. In Belfast two gunmen were shot dead by British troops raising the death toll to 20. In Berlin, the Big Four ambassadors met for a second day, with the Soviet envoy alluding to two bit steps.
