Vietnam charges 3 US citizens with 'terrorism’
Reuters, Hanoi
Seven people, including three Vietnamese-born US citizens, will be prosecuted on charges of plotting violence against Vietnam's communist government, officials said yesterday. The prosecutor included charges against a US citizen whose 13-month-long detention has drawn attention in the United States before President George W. Bush's visit to Vietnam November 17-20. US Senator Bill Martinez of Florida has linked the detention of Orlando, Florida resident Nguyen Thuong Cuc (alias Foshee Thuong Nguyen) to passage of a bill granting Vietnam permanent normal trade relations status. Martinez has said she should be charged or released.
