"Only one V.C. got into the compound. He went into a building nearby the embassy and a civilian CIA/Spook or Army officer in civvies crawled into a window (I have seen video of this) with a M1911A1 .45. He hunted the VC alone in the building and killed him as he walked up a flight of stairs. The American was at the top of the stairs and shot the VC. He was not even looking up when he started to climb the stairs."

Saw a documentary on TET which mentioned this event. As told in that program, the "Spook" borrowed the 1911A1 from a soldier, then after killing the VC, declined to return it.

Anybody familiar with this ...
