Video proves plan to kill Bolivian President

Bolivia: The Bolivian government asserted on Sunday that the video published on Saturday by the Attorney General’s Office ratified the intentions of the international terrorist network neutralized in Santa Cruz department to assassinate the president.

The intentions of those people to assassinate President Evo Morales to leave the changing process leaderless have been clarified, Justice Minister Wilfredo Chavez asserted during his participation in the state television and radio network’s People are News show.

According to the official, the video tape distorts any speculation by those who attributed the case to a fabrication and a political show orchestrated by the Executive. The tape presented by the Justice Ministry shows the extremists shot on April 16 in a police operation that dismantled a cell that had weapons of different calibers and C-4 plastic explosives.
