" A special kind of terrorism has afflicted many Vietnamese refugees in the United States in recent tears: violence and intimidation instigated not by Hanoi, but by virulently anticommunist Vietnamese groups in this country."
"Some outspoken refugees have been murdered, apparently to silence their advocacy of normalizing relations with the communist Vietnamese regime. "
"The FBI also identifies 10 Vietnamese criminal gangs known to be operating in the United States. They sport such colorful names as "the Frogmen" and "the Pink Knights," and operate in major cities, including New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New Orleans. "
