attacks and an exclusive archive of documents show that Henry

Notorious 1973 Attack Killed Many More Than Previously Known

Long-buried documents indicate that the true number of civilian
casualties in the bombing of Neak Luong may have been nearly twice
the official tally. Nick Turse A section of the rubber plantation
town of Snoul, Cambodia, smolders in early May 1970, after nearly 90
percent of the town was destroyed in air strikes and heavy fighting
between U.S. forces and North Vietnamese troops. By May 6, the U.S.
11th Armored Cavalry Regiment occupied the town. (AP Photo/Henri

Any theft "was done by civilian reporters in their wandering about
the village," according to a previously unrevealed Army
investigation. Nick Turse WASHINGTON, D.C. - AUGUST 25: SIXTY MINUTES
