Civilians used as screen in Cambodian battle plan
Cambodian troops deployed about 100 Vietnamese civilians as a human screen to lure Viet Cong from Saang Cambodia. At least five civilians were wounded. The civilians, many Roman Catholics, were moved from Phnom Penh to a position near Saang guarded by seven Cambodian soldiers. A brief exchange of fire occurred at a bridge on Saang’s outskirts as the column moved. General Sustana Fern andez described the civilians as a delegation of volunteers and said this tactic helped identify Viet Cong positions.
