    Bolivian Shooting II - "Mike Dwyer Took Part in Bomb Attack"

    I'm posting this in a new thread as it seems to move events onto a new level.
    If mods feel this is not appropriate, I don't have any objection to merging it with the old thread.

    A report in La Prensa says that Tadic, one of the Rosza Flores group in prison in La Paz, has said that Mike Dwyer, along with RF himself, planted the bomb at the Cardinal's house in Santa Cruz.

    The statement of the arrested Mario Tadic, says the prosecutor Marcelo Soza, said people who carried out the attack on the house of Cardinal Terrazas July were Eduardo Rózsa Flores and Michael Martin Dwyer.

    "In a paragraph he indicates that the day the device that exploded at the home of Cardinal, Eduardo and Mike arrived at about the one o'clock and boasted about what was done. He pulled it and now we'll see what happens. Mike was a mix of panic and joy. "

    The safety fuse and the explosive used in the attack have the same characteristics as those found at the booth level ( in the exhibition fair ground).
    Villa Ignacio recalled a comment by Rózsa, laughing: "What a pity that it does not kill the litle priest."

    The photo appears to show Mike Dwyer working with Flores at the exhibition ground.

    The report in La Prensa also states that evidence has been given by a number of witnesses to the effect that some group members were recruited via the internet, and that Marinkovic, Ruben Costas and other figures from the Santa Cruz facist right, along with Hugo Acha of the US "Human Rights Foundation" (who funded the RF group) were the group running the conspiracy. The aim, according to La Prensa, was to set up a Santa Cruz militia.

    A judicial hearing has been delayed due to a challenge from defence council, who want it to take place in Santa Cruz rather than La Paz.

    If the evidence quoted proves to be correct, Dwyer was involved as a minor player in a push by right wing business interests and facist groups, backed by US funding and support, attempting to overthrow a legitimate democracy and replace it with a US-friendly neo-liberal regime.

    You are desperately hoping this is the case so you and your fellow lefties can circle the wagons around Morales who is proving to be an economic disaster.

    As opposed to Dubya who proved to be such an outstanding economic success...?

    Morales is the democratically elected President of Bolivia. If anyone wants him removed from office, they can campaign peacefully, legally and democratically.

    That's a desperate little slur, Clanrickard. Tbh, I was shocked at the statement about Dwyer. The rest is an incontrovertible truth of global politics and one that I am anything but happy about.

    What the f*** has that got to do with Bolivia?

    Agree entirely. Any campaign should be peaceful and democratic. But left wings are at high do over this Dwyer guy. Some fella plays toy soldier with a bunch of thugs and the police indulge in some extra judicial justice and Morales makes a stink. But of course it is all the fault of the neo-cons

    I have no idea but I am not jumping to conclusions. It may be disgruntled members of the wealthy elite in Santa Cruz.

    Hugo Acha has admitted meeting RF on a number of occasions. The idea that it was to discuss Human Rights is a little far fetched.

    If you say so but that doesn't necessitate innuendo that Neo-cons were involved.

    If you think that, perhaps you haven't looked at who is involved in the "Human Rights Foundation" and what they do.
