VIETNAM: Hanoi urged Washington on Wednesday to be consistent in fighting terrorism by helping capture people based in the United States who attack Vietnam or its embassies abroad.

Last week, the FBI arrested a Vietnamese-born U.S. citizen in southern California in connection with a bombing attempt at Vietnam's embassy in Thailand.

Vo Van Duc, 41, of Baldwin Park, California, is accused of planting two bombs -- one thrown inside the gate and the other set against the compound's walls -- at the Bangkok embassy on June 19. Investigators said his fingerprints were found on the explosives.

The bombs were discovered and detonated by Thai police and no damage was done. --AP
