KC-702 was a military base that operated by The Provisional Government of Free Vietnam probably inside Cambodia, near the Vietnamese border.[1] It is believed that this was once used to help plan the failed Vietnamese Embassy bombing in Laos. The current status of the camp is not known. However, in 1999 several members of the group were captured in Cambodia with weapons, deported to Vietnam and charged.[2]
Background[]
The Provisional Government of Free Vietnam claims 6,000 members and 100,000 supporters who were trained in secret camp locations along the Vietnamese border.[3] They also claim 75 chapters in Asia, Australia, and Europe. Although the GFVN prides itself on its widespread support, there are those who argue that the Government of Free Vietnam never received a true mandate to represent the Vietnamese American community.
