Bomb Toss at U S Embassy Dud Turns Out Safe
A home made hand grenade hurled at the U S Embassy in Saigon by a suspected Viet Cong member failed to detonate and rolled away unharmed. The assailant escaped in white clothing as security men pursued him. In central Viet Nam near Polei Krong a Viet Cong raid killed 42 American trained troops and wounded 47 others including seven Americans. Survivors said turncoat Vietnamese aided the attack and two of the camp’s machine guns were used against defenders.
