Cambodians Battle In Mountain Area
Cambodian forces fought west and north of Phnom Penh as allied units reported over 400 North Vietnamese killed in five days near Khe Sanh. A relief force of U S trained mercenaries battled about 1,000 Viet Cong and North Vietnamese who overran Kim Rom, with at least 50 enemy killed Sunday and 24 Cambodian casualties reported over the weekend. Long Vek depot fighting broke through but was repulsed by government counterattack. In Vietnam, allied casualties neared 417 killed and five captured as U S helicopter gunships pounded enemy positions around Khe Sanh. In Saigon, a grenade wounded Pham Duy Tue and a guard and maid, with the device believed placed under Tue’s car.
