Barbara Robbins
[edit]- ... that in 1965, Barbara Robbins became the first female CIA employee to die in action in the agency's history and the first American woman to die in the Vietnam War?

Interesting article. I didn't know about this woman. It's a shame that the CIA didn't acknowledge her more promptly. Date, length, online source, hook all fine. Minor copyedit. No overly close paraphrasing. Do you feel confident that the photo in the article is that from the bombing in question? There wasn't much detail in the photo info. Anne (talk) 23:36, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for the review. I'm basing my use of the photo on the caption at United States Embassy, Saigon, which says that it depicts the embassy bombing. I'll do some investigating to make sure that the photo is of the correct incident and, if so, I'll update its description on Commons. GabrielF (talk) 03:43, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
