Two Americans Killed in Viet Nam Ambush near Saigon
In a bold ambush 30 miles north of Saigon, Communist guerrillas attacked an armored South Vietnamese column, killing two U.S. officers and 15 Vietnamese. The assault used 50 caliber machine guns and recoilless rifles, with 300 to 400 guerrillas conducting the attack and later stripping weapons from seven damaged vehicles. Vietnamese soldiers, aided by a U.S. helicopter, pursued the raiders but the chase was unsuccessful. The two U.S. dead were advisers to the 7th Regiment, 5th Infantry Division, riding in a jeep. The ambush occurred near Ben Cat as villagers were terrorized into silence.
