The suite has a gaping hole in its roof and smoke is rising from the room. Amidst the debris, we can barely make out a body. A lone cross, 20-feet high, the church surrounding it reduced to rubble, dominates a scene of horror. An area two blocks long and a block wide has been devastated in an early morning rocket attack and ensuing fire. Medical personnel pull a corpse from the still smoking rubble.
Women walk through the debris, crying softly into handkerchiefs.
Occasionally, someone will find a child's body in the wreckage, and start to wail. As I take pictures, I notice a pretty TV reporter I have never seen before, wearing a print blouse, skirt and boots. She looks out of place as she shoots her standup in the midst of the debris. ABC's Hillary Brown has just arrived in Vietnam. She has been covering the bombings in Northern Ireland.
