Saigon War Report Mounts New Strikes Across North Vietnam
Combined News Services reports jet bombers pushed deep into North Vietnam striking rail yards and bridges north of Hanoi amid intense antiaircraft fire. In South Vietnam fighting slowed with a mortar attack killing two Americans and wounding 34 at English Field. Marine casualty figures surged last month with 2,752 North Vietnamese killed, a record. An operation named Bluefield found at least nine Viet Cong base camps near Saigon, aided by heavy air strikes. A captured document suggests North Vietnamese officials planned to pass soldiers’ belongings to U.S. protest groups.
