Morales assassins: Bolivia gang "fought in Balkans"

[Jan Klimkowski]

Some US ambassadorial cables have also been wiki-leaked, to the MSM Spanish newspaper El Pais, and they claim that Eduardo Rózsa Flores and his mercenary cell were recruited and financed by Bolivian intelligence in a false flag operation.

Of course this in the mirror image of what actually happened, namely that Rózsa Flores and his mercenary cell were part of a Gladio-style false flag operation, with neo-nazi separatist links and, at the very least, support from American intelligence elements.

For the record then, here is the official coverup as espoused by the US Embassy in Bolivia, and then wiki-leaked:

PAPERS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE

U.S. suspects that the Government of Bolivia simulated a terrorist plot
A witness tells the Embassy in La Paz that the intelligence services prepared a completely false plot to kill Evo Morales and blame the opposition

MAITE RICO - Madrid - 30/12/2010

Morning of April 16, 2009. An elite commando Bolivian police burst into the hotel Las Americas Santa Cruz, the capital of eastern Venezuela. Twenty minutes later, the naked bodies of three men lying shot in their rooms. They are Eduardo Rózsa Flores, Hungarian-Bolivian Magyarosi Árpád, Hungarian, and Michael Dwyer, Irish. The command carries with two other survivors: Mario Tadic, Bolivian Croatian origin, and Elod Toaso, Hungarian. And so begins one of the darkest episodes of the recent history of Bolivia. The Government contends that five foreigners were terrorists recruited by opposition leaders of Santa Cruz to promote armed rebellion and assassinate the president, Evo Morales.

However, a source close to the case gives the U.S. Embassy a very different version of the mercenaries, says this witness, were actually hired by the Bolivian intelligence services to set up a fake terrorist plot and then justify the persecution against Santa Cruz leaders, opposition to the government stronghold.

According to this account, contained in a May 2009 cable, the same secret services liquidated Rozsa, Dwyer and Magyarosi to clear tracks and planted false evidence. The other two, Tadic and Toaso, were spared because they were unaware of the plot and because the authorities would use them as witnesses to bolster their case. Both were tortured, as attested to U.S. diplomats in photographs that gives them the control, and showing the two men "bloody, with missing teeth, broken ribs, bruises and lacerations caused by knife wounds."

. . . . .

However, according to a witness interviewed by the U.S. Embassy, who actually hired Rózsa was Colonel Jorge Santiesteban, then head of police intelligence, and his deputy, Captain Walter Andrade. The aim was to lay a trap for separatist groups and political settlement step to the main regional leaders.

It is not known what was the link between Rózsa and Santiesteban. Indeed, according to the witness, the colonel led the assault on the hotel and killed three men "to clear tracks." Furthermore, the police "planted" evidence put forward by the prosecution as "a false memory device lists Santa Cruz businessmen involved," the business card of a suspect, "[Hugo Acha is an activist human rights has fled to the U.S.] and a video, unintelligible, which Rózsa supposedly speaks of a plan to kill Evo Morales.

In any good conspiracy that price, could not miss the U.S.. The embassy was concerned from the outset. And their fears were confirmed early this year, when Attorney General announced he had found a Rosza emails showing that he had "contacted the CIA." "The Bolivian government is almost certain to take advantage of this opportunity to link the 'empire' with the alleged conspiracy and thus confirm the wildest accusations of Evo Morales on the goings-Americans," he writes vigorously Chargé February.

According to the embassy, "will be many months before they know the truth of this case. If it ever comes to be known."
