Irish 'involved' in Bolivia 'assassination attempt'

Story (plus photo from bebo posted above) here:

Deadly end to alleged Bolivian plot | Irish Examiner

From Tipperary to Bolivia | Irish Examiner

The Examiner article suggests he may have had some military background possibly with British Army, I'm sure those that knew him and were on here would have mentioned that if it were true would they not?

It all seems to be guessing at this stage, I don't know if there's any truth in any of the speculation, better to wait and see...

I am not a "right-winger" whatever the hell that is, and I am saying the government in corrupt because I know in my heart that Mike Dwyer had nothing to do with any attempt on some suit's life. This is a cover up of some sort even if it was just a case of mistake in identity on the polices part

I never said you were a right winger, although you clearly know ******************** all about Bolivia, for one thing I don't think Evo Morales ever wore a suit in his life.

This was denied by one or more of the alleged friends on here tonight. They were sure enough about that but nobody could advance any details of his overseas activities.

That guy with the vulgar ID ((he should be asked to change it, out of normal courtesy to everyone else) also posts as Family Guy.

No I don't you bloody clown. I'm posting here with 6 years, Family guy appeared a few months back (Although I hardly ever post here anymore) (although I post very rarely any more) Why should I have to change my name? If you don't like it tough! I don't hear anyone here asking you to stop posting just because you are clearly an idiot and lower the collective IQ of the site by posting.

There is free speech on this site (including in the names we pick. If you don't like it, tough.

Same photo anyway. I'm not sure they haven't focused on the wrong fellow in the photo though...

The Examiner is trying to portray him as a bit of a nut. Initially, I thought his bebo page was a bit weird, but in all fairness, there was nothing really serious on it. Just some guy who liked running around with his mates. It’s only relevant if we assume the other guys in the pictures are up to no good as well which would be ridiculous.
If it had been a few paintballing pics, I probably wouldn’t have even noticed.
The only really important thing to find out would be why he was with the other guys. It seems that they have a colourful past and it’s strange for a twenty four year old Irish lad to have dealings with them, let alone living with them. That’s what the family and consulate have to find out.

I don't think Evo Morales ever wore a suit in his life.

In fairness, is the below not a suit?

Suit (plural suits)

1. A set of clothes to be worn together, now especially a man's matching jacket and trousers, or a similar outfit for a woman.
2. (pejorative, slang) A person who wears matching jacket and trousers, especially a boss or a supervisor.

After a load of vino and multiplicity of negative forms in your last sentence...i'd hazard a guess at agreeing with you.
