Arson destroyed a truck parked in front of the Orange County offices of the Vietnamese-language Nguoi Viet Daily News, Westminster Fire Marshal Glen Hines said. A threat, written on a wall in Vietnamese, said, “Nguoi Viet, if you are VC (Viet Cong). We kill.” Hines said the newspaper’s publisher, Do Ngoc Yen, attributed the incident to a news segment mistakenly broadcast Saturday by the TV studio that shares the editorial offices. The program, “Truyen Hinh Vietnam,” apparently offended some ardently anti-Communist members of the Vietnamese community when it showed the Communist flag of Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh’s mausoleum in Hanoi as a visual background for a Vietnamese entertainer’s song. The publisher, who co-owns the studio, said he will publish an apology to the Vietnamese community today.
