...reporter, Frank Palmos, 28, a freelance Australian journalist, escaped to tell the story. The group had been riding in a jeep around Saigon when they noticed a column of smoke rising above the Cholon section.

But the main enemy target was Newport, the U.S. dock facilities in the Saigon River, where Communist forces unsuccessfully attempted to follow up a mortar and rocket attack with an assault. Within two hours the city had largely become quiet again. The Communists also shelled, among other cities, Hué, Pleiku, Can Tho, Kontum, My Tho and Quang Tri. Four U.S. Marines were killed and six wounded...
