Thế was born in Tây Ninh Province and raised in the Cao Đài religion . He was trained in military officer school by the Japan ese Kempeitai when Japan began using Cao Đài paramilitary troops . By 1945 , he was an officer in the Cao Đài militia . Career . In June 1951 , Thế broke from the Cao Đài hierarchy and took about 2 , 000 troops with him to form his own militia , the Lien Minh , devoted to combating both the French and the Việt Minh . Thế ’ s father and one of his brothers formed their own military group in the Lien Minh and were later killed in combat by Việt Minh . Thế ’ s forces were implicated in a series of terrorist bombings in Saigon from 1951 to 1953 — which were blamed on communists at the time — and may also have been responsible for the assassination of the French General Chanson at Sa Đéc in 1951 . In 1954 , United States military advisor Edward Lansdale negotiated with Thế to use his militia to back up Ngo Dinh Diem and the ARVN . On February 13 , 1955 , Thế ’ s troops were officially integrated into the South Vietnam ese army , where he assumed the rank of general . He led the Lien Minh on a triumphal march into Saigon . Through Lansdale , the U . S . continued to fund Thế and other Caodaist groups . However , as the South Vietnamese government faltered , many of the militia leaders declared their open opposition to Diệm and began an attempted coup . Thế ’ s loyalties at this point were unclear , and it was also unclear whether the U . S . intended to support Diệm against the rebels ; some said that Thế might be a realistic replacement for Diệm . However , when the Lien Minh entered Saigon again it appeared to be in response to Lansdale ’ s last - minute call for them to protect Diệm . Death . On May 3 , 1955 , while standing near his military jeep , Thế was shot in the back of the head by a sniper . The murder was unsolved , with some blaming the French ( who had vowed to kill Thế for years ) and others blaming the South Vietnamese government . Trinh Minh Son , Thế ’ s son , claims that his father was killed from a pistol with its muzzle against his head . He also claims that he was shot by two bullets , not one bullet as stated by official media . His son says it was possible that Thế was assassinated by the South Vietnamese government to prevent him from forming the basis of a possible future opposition to the government .
