Dwyer accused of firing at Bolivian troops

BOLIVIAN president Evo Morales has again claimed that Tipperary native Michael Dwyer and two other men killed by his security forces threw bombs and fired on the armed officers before they died.

Mr Morales said in New York that Foreign Affairs Minister Micheál Martin was welcome to visit Bolivia and “verify how they resisted, how they threw bombs, how they were armed.

“Sleeping people never cause explosions. Sleeping people never defend themselves by shooting,” he said.
