BBC: Plot to kill Bolivian president Morales thwarted with 3 mercenaries killed
Bolivia's President Evo Morales says three foreigners have been killed after he ordered police to thwart a planned assassination attempt against him.

Security forces killed three alleged international mercenaries in the city of Santa Cruz, Mr Morales said.

He said intelligence reports had warned of an assassination plot by a group comprising foreign attackers.

Arriving in Venezuela for a summit, Mr Morales said two people had been arrested over the alleged plot.

The three were killed in a half-hour shootout at the hotel in Santa Cruz, some 900km (620 miles) east of the capital La Paz, Mr Morales said.

"Yesterday, I gave instruction to the vice president to move to arrest these mercenaries and this morning I was informed of a half-hour shootout at a hotel in the city of Santa Cruz," said Mr Morales.

"Three foreigners are dead and two arrested."

He added that the alleged plot had been to kill him, Vice President Alvaro Garcia Linera and a cabinet minister.


There were conflicting reports about the nationalities of those killed, with some reports saying they were from Hungary while others said they were from Romania and Ireland.

Some police sources said there were Bolivians among the alleged plotters.

The two who survived were arrested and taken to the country's capital La Paz for interrogation.

 Quoting: FF 456207

They were just Irish nationalists, fighting Great Britain at every opportunity. Since the war is pretty much over, some of the IRA "soldiers" have turned mercenary, hired guns for anyone who will pay. I don't think there's anything political about them, it's just about money.

And there are plenty of conservative landowners in Bolivia who'd be happy to pay to have Morales killed, I'm sure.

It may be true about eastern European ex-soldiers too. Not much work for a Hungarian or Romanian killer these days.

Of course, I'm just speculating.

These so called mercenaries were EXECUTED ON THE SPOT with no question asked...so how the hell can the filthy communist indian tell us that these tourist were about to kill him...the filthy communist indian dirt-eater.

The tourist guys didn't shoot a single bullet so why execute them? Now it will be hard to ask them exactly what their purpose was...but tell it to the filth-eating indian killing our Hungarian brother.

The IRA was never as it seemed. We had them in UK causing havock supossedly and yet they always seemed to kinda work in sync with the British government. It was all kinda cloudy and hard to work out until of course 9/11.
Up to then the IRA were called terrorists but suddenly after 9/11 and when USA and UK were getting ready to attack Afganistan, IRA put down their arms and they were no longer around. UK had a new boogy man to deal with and IRA who were meant to be one of the most terrifying groups in the world just said "oh, guys, we have had enough. Here is all our arms and we are going.Bye".
Now you try and work this out.sheesh.
