Lall stressed no Indian designs on West Pakistan and described the battle near the city while clashes continued along Khulna. In Calcutta, anti-American violence erupted near Pan American Airways after a Soviet consul visit. A separate rescue in the Angeles National Forest saved a family trapped on a cliff ledge, with the father and five children pulled to safety after a night on a 1,000-foot precipice in near-freezing temps.
