Antiaircraft Guns Guard Palace After Bombing Raid
U S made antiaircraft guns were placed around the presidential palace in Phnom Penh after a weekend bombing by a hijacked warplane that killed 47 and wounded at least 50. So Potra, ex-pilot and son-in-law of exiled Prince Sihanouk, was identified as the rogue pilot who dropped two 280-pound bombs. Lon Nol declared an assassination attempt and a state of siege, with arrests of dissidents and house arrests for royal family members. U S warplanes hit Communist positions in Cambodia as fighting and arrests rippled through the capital region.
