B52s Save VC Captives And Spoil Ambush Plans
SAIGON AP A heavy U S B52 raid scattered Viet Cong forces who had manacled captives and planned an ambush for rescuers. Government troops freed 39 captives, killed six guerrillas, and wounded three infantrymen. Captives ranged from two months to two years in Viet Cong custody. Additional clashes yielded 29 guerrillas killed, 20 tear gas grenades seized, and several weapons captured. Cornered militants and ongoing lull marked a tense day as Ho Chi Minh urged intensified resistance. Marines near the DMZ reported capturing two 7 mm howitzers, possibly the first such seizure in the DMZ area.
