Nguyễn Văn Trỗi
Nguyễn Văn Trỗi (c. 1940〔Staff report (16 October 1964). ("Another Nasty Stunt." ) ''Time'' (only available online for subscribers). The article describes him as aged 17 at the time of his execution, although other sources cite 1940 as his year of birth, making him 24 years old at death, which may be more likely given he was married at the time of his death, although the exact year or date of his birth may never be known.〕 – 15 October 1964) was a Việt Minh (National Liberation Front) bomber. He gained notoriety after being captured by the South Vietnamese while trying to assassinate United States Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara and future ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. who were visiting South Vietnam in May 1963.〔Greene, Felix Greene (1966). ''Vietnam! Vietnam! In photographs and text''. Palo Alto, California: Fulton Publishing Company, LCCN 66-28359〕
==Sentence and execution==
Sentenced to death, Van Trỗi got a brief reprieve after the FALN, a Venezuelan communist guerrilla group, kidnapped United States Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Michael Smolen in revenge for Van Troi's sentence. The group threatened to kill the American if Trỗi was executed. Smolen was eventually released unharmed, and Trỗi was shot by firing squad shortly thereafter in Chí Hòa Prison.〔Staff report. (23 October 1964). ( "Suggestions, Anyone?" ) ''Time〕
Trỗi became the first publicly executed member of the Viet Minh.〔Reuters (15 October 1964). "Saigon Executes Youth For Plot on McNamara". ''New York Times''〕 His execution was filmed, and he remained defiant to the end. His last words before his execution in Saigon to correspondents were "You are journalists and so you must be well informed about what is happening. It is the Americans who have committed aggression on our country, it is they who have been killing our people with planes and bombs ... I have never acted against the will of my people. It is against the Americans that I have taken action." When a priest offered him absolution, he refused, saying: "I have committed no sin. It is the Americans who have sinned." As the first shots were fired, he called out, "Long live Vietnam!"〔
