SUB.~ECT CIA Plot/Spies to Vietnam
JEAN COCHRAN: Vietnamese authorities have given details
of what they describe as a CIA plot to send spies into Vietnam's
Highlands region to commit sabotage. The BBC's Southeast Asian
correspondent, Jack Thompson, has more in this report.
JACK THOMP50N: The official Vietnamese news media has
released an account of a press conference held in Hanoi on
Tuesday at which the leader of this group of spies, named as Vo
Dai Tung, is supposed to have confessed to his crimes. `He said
he'd arrived in Thailand last year to study infiltration routes
into Vietnam through Laos. In September, Vo Dai Tung said, he
and an unspecified number of followers again set out from
Thailand and made for the town of Atapu in Laos.
One member of the group was killed in Laos, and they
were all eventually abandoned by their guides, who Tung described
as agents of the CIA-trained Lao tribesman, General Vung Pao.
Tung is reported to have confessed that he made contact
with and received assistance from a number of foreign espionage
organizations, including the CIA.
