Guards removed from home of a U S diplomat in Laos
In Vientiane the Pathet Lao removed guards from the residence of the senior American diplomat after a protest by Charge d Affaires Christian Chapman. Officials said guards were placed due to a misunderstanding relating to the U S Agency for International Development mission. Estimates cited up to 20 guards at one point, though none entered the home. The incident follows broader U S force reductions as AID exits Laos, with remaining American staff dropping from about 850 to near 50 by month’s end.
