Nearly 4000 demonstrators stoned U.S. bases and soldiers Monday in Qui Nhon, a city 275 miles northeast of Saigon. The riots erupted after an American soldier shot and killed a local high school student.
The disturbances began Monday afternoon and continued into Tuesday night. They were the worst riots in Qui Nhon, South Vietnam's fourth largest city, since the 1966 student rebellion against the Ky regime.
The crowd demanded that the soldier be tried by local authorities. U.S. officials offered compensation to the dead student's family, but maintained that the shooting was accidental. They said that the soldier would remain under U.S. control until further investigation.
