Wed 04 Apr 2009'No evidence' of Bolivia plot
The public prosecutor leading the investigation into the shooting dead by Bolivian police of Co Tipperary man Michael Dwyer and two others in a hotel last Thursday has said he has found no evidence to date that the group was planning to assassinate Bolivia’s left-wing president and other senior government leaders.
Mr Dwyer’s body still lay in room 457 of the Hotel Las Americas in the eastern city of Santa Cruz when Alvaro Garcia Linera, Bolivia’s vice-president, told a press conference in the capital, La Paz, last Thursday that he, the two other dead men and two others arrested at the scene, were “mercenary terrorists” with plans to kill Evo Morales, himself and other leading public figures.
