Viet Cong strikes hit Sai Gon and provinces in renewed terror
A new wave of Viet Cong terrorism killed 13 and wounded 92 across Sai Gon and four provincial capitals. The assaults targeted theaters and crowds, with bombings near police HQ, a Phu Cuong troupe, and Ben Tre. In Saigon, a minor official was assassinated and a 17 year old boy grievously wounded. Thai and U.S. forces reinforced Saigon while Marines repelled Viet Cong and North Vietnamese probes near Khe Sanh and Con Thien. The offensives come ahead of a feared major third offensive amid large Viet Cong infiltrations and substantial weapons caches found in government hands.
