Bolivian who captured 'Che' wanted for questioning
Bolivian who captured 'Che' wanted for questioning

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.

The man standing by the wounded Che Guevara is Felix Rodriguez, Cuban "exile" who was in Bolivia
with the CIA at the time of the shooting and capture and the murder.

In the second photo, he is the man on the left lying on the stage of a night club, sitting in front of
Porter Goss, with a CIA team. Barry Seal sits behind Porter Goss.

3. The same cowardly Che
Who got off on killing children? The same one who, when faced with death, whined that he is Che and is better off taken alive? Give Prado a medal.

2. For those of us who've been watching the Rozsca information,
the last part of this article is better than the first.
Prosecutor Marcelo Soza did not say whether authorities had been able to decrypt the emails he said were exchanged by the elder Prado and Rozsa, a journalist-adventurer who fought for Croatia after Yugoslavia dissolved.

Prado did not deny knowing Rozsa, who he said had approached him to inquire about his involvement in the 1967 capture of Guevara. The Argentine hero of the Cuban revolution was trying to foment an uprising in Bolivia and was later executed.

Prado, then an army captain, commanded the patrol that captured him.

The Rozsa case has major political overtones. The Morales government contends prominent opposition leaders in Santa Cruz were involved.

One of them, Branko Marinkovic, was implicated this week by a former close associate who told prosecutors Marinkovic helped fund Rozsa's group.

The accusation prompted Marinkovic, the son of Croatian immigrants, to slip out of the country. Marinkovic's lawyer denies his client's involvement in the alleged conspiracy.

Shortly after Morales' December re-election, the government confiscated land from Marinkovic.

Come back to Bolivia, Branko, and face trial. Be a man.
Too bad you couldn't take your shock troops with you.
