Alleged CIA link to Bolivian killings

BOLIVIAN prosecutors investigating the killing of three Europeans, including 24-year-old Tipperary man Michael Dwyer, by police in the South American country last spring claim to have found evidence directly linking the group and the CIA.

Last week Bolivian authorities released email research which they claim confirms discussions between Hungarian Eduardo Rozsa Flores, accused of leading the group killed by Bolivian special forces in the town of Santa Cruz last April, and Istvan Belovai, a former Hungarian intelligence chief who defected to the US in 1990 and later worked for the CIA.

According to the Bolivian investigators the email correspondence found on Flores’s laptop includes discussion of proposed attacks on infrastructure as well as on Cuban and Venezuelan aid workers. However, Flores died alongside Dwyer and Romanian national Magyarosi Arpak on April 17, 2009, while Belovai died last November in the US.
