Bolivia Confirms Actions by Terrorists

La Paz - The Bolivian government asserted on Monday that the investigations about existence of violent groups have confirmed the implementation of plans to assassinate President Evo Morales and divide the country.

An Interior Ministry communique, accessed by Prensa Latina, said the Attorney General's Office issues an early warning about the presence of an extremist group, a cell of which was neutralized on April 16 at Las Americas hotel, in Santa Cruz.

"The investigations ratified that the foreign and national members of the gang led by Bolivian-Croatian Eduardo Rozsa Flores and their relation to the attack on Cardinal Julio Terrazas' house represented an extreme danger," the communique said.

The document recalled that Rozsa, shot dead when resisting his arrest, said in an interview published by the Hungarian television that he had the intention of declaring Santa Cruz department's independence in few months and creating a new country in this region.

"In a video tape published by the Justice Ministry, he expressed his intentions to assassinate President Morales," the text said.

The investigation and the statements by the people involved and arrested have proved that there was external support and internal financing to develop those activities.

The communique also reported that Juan Carlos Gueder, arrested days later together with Paraguayan Alcides Mendoza, accepted that he knew Rozsa and had sold him weapons.

Those involved identified citizens Hugo Acha, representative of the Human Right Bolivia Foundation, and Alejandro Melgar, both currently at large in the United States, as some of the relations among the mercenaries and their sponsors.

The Executive said all these individuals confirmed their terrorist, violent,armed,andti-democratic and separatist intentions of this dismantled group.

It also rejected the statements by opposition members to distract attention from the actual events and their intentions to prevent an Attorney General's Office key witness from testifying.

Vice-minister of Coordination with Social Movements Sacha Llorenti accused the organization called Human Rights of financing the violent actions by the terrorist groups neutralized in mid April in Santa Cruz.
