Premier H Prisoner In Dual Coup
Gen Nguyen Van Vy seized control of South Vietnam in a bloodless coup declaring loyalty to Bao Dai while stating the revolutionary committee ousted him. Premier Ngo Dinh Diem is said to be a prisoner in the palace as Vy moves troops into Saigon and denounces Bao Dai. The upheaval follows Bao Dai’s deposition and a three point program toward suppressing the Binh Xuyen rebellion, forming a new assembly, and clearing remnants of civil armies. Foreign powers weigh ongoing status as barricades rise around Saigon’s European zone.
