Thai insurgency deepens as communists gain ground near Bangkok
The Thailand insurgency grows more intense with better armed terrorists and increased willingness to clash with government forces. Reports note mortars in the hills north of Bangkok, clashes, snipers, and helicopter hits amid a broader pattern resembling Vietnam. Officials cite Meo tribesmen aided by Laos and Laotian and Vietnamese in training camps, with U.S. involvement and caution on field rules.
