HANOI -- Vu Ngoc Nha, 74, a spy for communist North Vietnam who was a close friend and adviser to two South Vietnamese presidents before he was unmasked by U.S. intelligence during the Vietnam War, died Aug. 7 at his home in Ho Chi Minh City. The cause of death was not reported.

Gen. Nha, a senior officer in the northern army, became a spy in the late 1950s. Based in Saigon, as Ho Chi Minh City was then known, he became an adviser for then-President Ngo Dinh Diem.

After Diem and his brother were assassinated in November 1963 in a military coup, Gen. Nha continued in his adviser role with Diem's successor in the South, Nguyen Van Thieu.

Gen. Nha was an insider in the two administrations. He fed secret information to North Vietnam until he was exposed by the CIA in the late 1960s. The South Vietnamese government tried him along with his espionage group in late 1969.

Gen. Nha was sentenced to life in prison and was sent to the southern island prison of Con Dao until mid-1973, when he sent to a Saigon cell after Vietnam signed the Paris peace agreement that ended the Vietnam War.

Later that year, Nha was freed in a prisoner exchange with the northern liberation forces.

In an interview with the Vietnam News Agency last year, Gen. Nha said he frequently was summoned by Thieu and had a small bedroom next to the president's quarters.

"The president and I discussed not only matters of national importance, but also talked over his family's affairs. Some things were known only by him and me. He even gave me the key to his room," Gen. Nha said.

After the Vietnam War ended with the North's victory over the U.S.-backed South in 1975, Gen. Nha was promoted to major general in the communist army.

He was the subject of a biography by Huu Mai, "The Adviser."

â?oSuper secret agentâ?
Having opened the power door of the Ngo brothers, Vu Ngoc Nha quickly linked up with his comrades such as Le Huu Thuy, Vu Huu Ruat and Nguyen Xuan Hoe to form a network dubbed A22 to take the top positions in the Saigon puppet administration so as to be able to relay strategic information for the revolutionary struggle. The most beautiful success of the A22 secret agent group was to organise Huynh Van Trong, a man rich in national sentiment, into the network who then took a position of an assistant to President Nguyen Van Thieu. Huynh Van Trong was a minister under Bao Dai, but he was abandoned by Ngo Dinh Diem. Vu Ngoc Nha had shown the way to Huynh Van Trong to gradually create his reputation which later was used to help Nguyen Van Thieu to race into the seat of the President of the Republic of Vietnam. Thieu promoted Huynh Van Trong as assistant to him to show his thanks and favour to Trong. In such a position, Trong had con***ions to contact and obtain many top secret documents of the US and their puppets, which were later handed over to Vu Ngoc Nha. With these documents in hand, the Party Committee of the South was able to launch a correct and timely struggle. In August 1968, arranged and advised by Vu Ngoc Nha, Nguyen Van Thieu sent Huynh Van Trong as head of a mission of the Republic of Vietnam to the US to explore the attitude of the Johnson administration toward the US war in Vietnam. These pieces of information that made a priceless contribution to the revolution before sitting down at the Paris Conference table with the US.
The success of the Huynh Van Trong mission was great *****ch an extent that Nguyen Van Thieu himself could feel greatly satisfied, without his realising that the mission of the Republic of Vietnam had been placed completely in the hands of *********â?Ts secret agents!
As a faithful catholic who was ready to die for the religion, with his achievements made in all the regimes in the South, Vu Ngoc Nha had never received any privilege or title or premium from the heads of these regimes. In compensation for that, he had won the trust of these regimes, that could help him get many confidential strategic documents, from the plan to build the strategic hamlets, the Stanley Taylor Plan under the Diem regime, to the rural pacification plan, the Phoenix plan, the landing plan of US troops, the special war plan under the Thieu regime, and these documents had helped the Party work out the correct line in the struggle.
One od***y was that when the 1968 Tet offensive and uprising was launched, Vu Ngoc Nha, as planned, would be the commander of the Saigon special detatchment to capture or kill Nguyen Van Thieu. Fortunately for Thieu, he was in his motherâ?Ts home village together with his wife and children for the Tet holidays. On the eve of Tet, Vu Ngoc Nha was on duty at the Independence Palace on Thieuâ?Ts behalf, so he opened the presidentâ?Ts wine cellar for the soldiers to drink, resulting in leaving all the guards on all fours. However, the attack plan had changed, so after Tet, Nguyen Van Thieu ladled out his compliments and thanks to â?oMr Advisorâ? for his initiative of opening the wine cellar to raise the soldiersâ?T spirits, so that the Palace could be kept intact, while the US Embassy, only 300 metress away was heavily damaged by the liberation fighters

From the ?oInfeasible spy casê? to the ?oAll-time greatest political trial?
The CIA sniffed out and later discover the A22 spy network due to some loopholes in the process of collecting information. Apart from the timely withdrawal to the liberated zone of Mr Tran Quoc Huong, the top commander of the network, all the others, including Vu Ngoc Nha, were arrested by the Saigon special police in mid-July 1969.
After over one month of detention, the puppet police and the CIA had conducted over 32 cruel tortures on Vu Ngoc Nha, but he had reported nothing. But he could not bear seeing the whole network being discovered by the enemy. So, to be able to struggle openly in the court, Vu Ngoc Nha decided to admit everything for which the enemy had enough evidence.
In the hope of having Vu Ngoc Nhâ?Ts co-operation, the CIA sent their men to see him and ask him to admit that he was another CIA man! The proposal seemed to be a well-calculated move, which could both raise CIA?Ts prestige and have an opportunity to untie the political bundle. The CIA said it would pay Vu Ngoc Nha US $2 million and he could open his account in any bank he liked, with a very high monthly salary if Nha nodded. But he did not. He also refused the help of the lawyers at the court in an attempt to make the court a futile one.
This had led the US and its Saigon puppet regime into a messy political scandal. All the duties carried by the defendants were entrusted or ordered by the constitutional president. So the most important witness of the ?ocasê? would surely not be summoned by the court because it was the very president himself.
All the work and details were related to the policy and affairs of the government and had something to do with the top officials of the administration, including the president, ministers, representatives, CIA, even the US president. This made Nguyen Van Thieu very angry, because, as he said the CIA had intentionally orchestrated it to cut off his arms.
The Vatican and the Catholic community also held that this was the scheme of the CIA and the Thieu administration to weaken Catholicism in Vietnam. So the court case quickly became the ?ocentury?Ts greatest political trial.?
The court became so confused that it could not declare any death sentence. All the four main men including Nha, Trong, Thuy and Hoe were sentenced for life imprisonment and deported to Poulor Condor (Con Dao). It was ironic enough that in Rome on June 23, 1971, Vu Ngoc Nha was recognised as a ?ofilial son of God? and was bestowed with a medal by the Pope. Two days later, on June 25 a Vatican bishop came to present the award to Vu Ngoc Nha right in the Chi Hoa prison.
The reward of Pope Paul VI helped Vu Ngoc Nha earn more prestige. All the years being detained in Con Dao, many representatives, politicians, religious dignitaries and even the chaplains of the US army wrote letters or came to see him or solicited his ideas about something!
On July 23, 1973 Vu Ngoc Nha was returned at Loc Ninh with the title ?~liberation bishop.?T Up to the then, still nobody in the whole South Vietnam showed any doubt about his position and influence on the political stage in the South. Bishop Hoang Quynh and many other dignitaries of the Vatican had kept regular contacts with him in the liberated zone. Their confidence was so great that on November 12, 1974, that notorious anti-Communist bishop Hoang Quynh was ready to follow Lien, Vu Ngoc Nhâ?Ts eldest daughter, to the liberated zone in Dong Lon (Upper Trung Lap, Cu Chi) to discuss together with him about the third force and the three-party government in the South in accordance with the Paris Agreement.
And in his capacity as a man of the third party, on 30 April 1975, Vu Ngoc Nha standing by the side of the last President of the Saigon regime Duong Van Minh when he declared his surrender uncon***ionally to the revolution. In his confused mind, possibly the last president could not see that the small man by his side was smiling a fresh and satisfied smile, the smile of a victor.
