...that the 23,000 exiles form a united front-far from it. In fact, they are divided mainly into three major political and ethnic groups: the royalist Zbor movement; the Chetniks of the late Draža Mihailović, Tito's chief rival for power during World War II; and the Croats, including many former members of the Ustachi movement, which collaborated with the Nazis during the war.

The city is important because it sits astride Route 23, a main feeder to the Ho Chi Minh Trail, and commands the whole southern region. Last week an outnumbered royalist force of 1,000 managed to turn back attacks on two outposts defending it, but lost a third. "Some say the fighting in Laos is a forgotten war," said Brigadier General Oudone Sananikone, the Royal Army chief of staff, "but how can we forget what's going...
...Royalist Removals. Even as it gained status abroad, the junta consolidated its position at home by punishing the officials and army officers who had sided with the King.
