U.S. Embassy In Saigon Victim Of Vietcong Bomb
A car bomb planted by the Vietcong explodes in front of the United States Embassy in Saigon killing two Americans and eleven South Vietnamese. 183 were injured, many seriously. A cameraman records the scene as rescue workers ignore danger to probe the wreckage for the wounded. Most of the Vietnamese dead were passersby or workers on the first floor of the Embassy.
Reaction to the outrage was one of dismay and shock in Washington. President Lyndon B. Johnson said the bombing would serve to reinforce the Administration’s determination to give more help to South Vietnam Government.
