The White House was looking into reports that an American civil rights activist had been detained in Vietnam as President Obama began his first trip to the country.


Human rights campaigners contacted an official from the National Security Council and the US consulate in Ho Chi Minh City to express their concerns about the whereabouts of Nancy Nguyen from Anaheim California.

She went missing three days ago in HCMC after going to Vietnam to join activists campaigning for transparency over the mass fish deaths in central Vietnam.
