Suicide bomber kills three over retirement benefits

Bolivian police officers carry an injured officer from Bolivia’s Congress after a disgruntled miner detonated explosives strapped to his body inside the building, killing himself and two police officers.

AN angry miner killed himself and two policemen yesterday when he detonated dynamite strapped to his chest inside Bolivia's congress, authorities said.

La Paz police chief Col Guido Arandia said the man whose demand for early retirement benefits underscored the grievances of many low-paid miners in Bolivia stormed into congress around noon local time and went to a part of the building away from the congressional chambers.
