Machine-gunning down the guards, they set off a Claymore-type mine, then backed a Citroën delivery truck loaded with 500 Ibs. of plastique explosive up to the gate and blew the Victoria's ground-floor front wide open. Three Americans and three Vietnamese were killed, 113 Americans and twelve Vietnamese wounded.
