Morales assassins: Bolivia gang "fought in Balkans"

[Jan Klimkowski]

Presidente Evo Morales kicked out the Ambassador and liquidated an assassination squad.

We shall see how plausibly deniable Rozsa Flores & dogs of war are.

Asking for help from the SMOM didn't much help the cover story.... mokin:

Ambassador Goldberg declared "persona non grata"

On September 10, 2008, the Bolivian Government expelled Ambassador Goldberg, after declaring him persona non grata.[2] The Telegraph reported on September 12, 2008 that President Morales had been infuriated by a meeting between Goldberg and Santa Cruz Governor Rubén Costas.[22] Costas, founder of Autonomy for Bolivia,[23] has pressed for democracy and autonomy for Bolivia's regions.[24] Adam Isacson of the Center for International Policy concurs that the meeting between Goldberg and Costas was a factor in the crisis, since he believes it may have been interpreted by the Bolivians as a show of approval for anti-government demonstrations in Santa Cruz.[25] Morales has accused Goldberg of plotting against Bolivia's government and the unity of the country.[26][22] Prior to Goldberg only seven U.S. chiefs of missions have been ordered expelled from countries where they were serving.[1]

In an interview with Newsweek magazine, Goldberg indicated a belief that several factors had come into play in his expulsion, including the influence of Venezuela, and that "[i]t was part of the general policy of the Bolivian government for Morales to attack the United States."[1] Immediately prior to leaving Bolivia, Goldberg had said that Morales' decision would have "serious consequences of several sorts which apparently have not been correctly evaluated".[27] The US State Department issued an official statement saying that Bolivia had committed a grave error and that the allegations against Goldberg were baseless.[28] The statement also indicated that:[28]

President Morales’ action is a grave error that has seriously damaged the bilateral relationship.... We regret that President Morales has chosen this course. It will prejudice the interests of both countries, undermine the ongoing fight against drug-trafficking, and will have serious regional implications.
