...provincial governments and be allowed their own military units. But there was a distinct cloud over the ceremonies: FULRO Leader Y Bham Enuol, who had reportedly given full assent to the agreement, was the prisoner of a splinter group of FULRO dissidents in the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh.

Red terrorists also hit nearby Ubon, where U.S. fighter-bombers operating from that provincial capital mount almost daily strikes against North Viet Nam. In the past six months, Communist assassins have killed some 40 village headmen, teachers and "police informers" in the six Northeast provinces.
