There was confusion regarding the nationalities of the foreigners killed. While the chief of police said two of those killed were from Hungary, several local media organizations reported they were from Romania and Ireland.

So I guess the misinformation came from the police.

Apparently there has been a shoot out in the Bolivian city of Santa Cruz between 'foreign mercenaries' of a right-wing hue and Bolivian security forces, after President Morales was allegedly targeted in an assaination plot.

Begod, if the Irish don't get everywhere.

If it's not an Irish pub in Uzbekistan, it's an Irish mercernary in Bolivia...although having an 'Irish' passport in a mercenary's possession is no guarantee that either the mercenary or the passport is Irish.

The Bolivian president is Chavez without the charisma. There is a new wave of anti-democratic left wing movement in South America, what do they expect?
