Attack on Khe Sanh Base Drives Off Viet Cong Assault
More than 600 North Vietnamese soldiers attacked Khe Sanh Combat Base before dawn, reaching the barbed wire ring before being repelled. The assault involved sapper platoons and heavy air support from U S Air Force B 52 bombers. Some sapper teams placed torpedoes near the wire but were killed. A twin engine cargo plane crashed on takeoff, its crew and passengers escaping as firemen were wounded by mortar fire. The base houses about 5 000 Marines and 500 Rangers amid reports of 40 000 enemy troops massed nearby across the border. Colonel David Lownds, base commander, called the attack potentially the big strike.
