Bolivian Court Keeps Che Guevara's Assassin Under House Arrest



La Paz, May 10 (Prensa Latina) A Bolivian court has decided to keep former military Gary Pardo Salmon - one of those involved in the assassination of Argentinean-Cuban guerrilla leader Ernesto Che Guevara and accused of plotting against the Bolivian government - under house arrest.

The magistrates rejected the request to revoke the measures of preventive house arrest for Prado, one of 39 people involved in a terrorist group that tried to divide Bolivia into two different nations and kill current President Evo Morales, under the command of paramilitary Eduardo Rozsa.

...

The continuing of the trial is scheduled for Friday, and is one of the most controversial trials in Bolivia's history.

Prado Salmon was the responsible for the capture and identification of Che Guevara in 1967. He was the one who tied his hands, beat him and reported his arrest to the US Central Intelligence Agency.

LA PAZ, Bolivia -- The retired general who captured legendary revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara was summoned Friday by Bolivian authorities investigating an alleged plot against President Evo Morales.

Former Gen. Gary Prado allegedly exchanged "ultrasecret" encrypted e-mail with Eduardo Rozsa, a Bolivian-born Hungarian who was slain in an April 2009 raid by an elite police unit.

Authorities allege that Rozsa and two other men killed - an Irishman and an ethnic Hungarian from Romania - were involved in a conspiracy to create a separatist right-wing militia in the eastern, opposition-dominated state of Santa Cruz.

Morales said when they were killed that a plot to assassinate him had been foiled.

Prado had to be so proud of himself, beating a man who had already been shot in the leg first before they caught him. What a champ. What a field day for assholes.

Glad to see your post. Hope this action will produce appropriate results.
