Bolivian Lawmakers Request Information on Terrorism http://www.insidecostarica.com/dailynews/2010/april/11/latinamerica10041103.htm

The Constitution Committee of the Bolivian House of Deputies informed on Friday that it will summon the judicial authorities and the Executive for debriefing about the development of the investigation into terrorism. The leader of the group of the governing Movement toward Socialism (MAS), Rebeca Delgado, noted that the Committee plans to clear up claims of alleged political persecution, as denounced by the opposition.

The request for information about the investigation is aimed at having questions about the case responded and refuting the opposition's lies.Delgado pointed out that the MAS is not carrying out the investigation into the case of terrorism. The inquiry is being done by judicial authorities and the Prosecutor's Office, so there are no reasons to accuse the government of persecuting and arresting anyone with political ends.

The investigation began in April 2009, after the Bolivian Police dismantled an irregular cell in a hotel in Santa Cruz (east).The leader of the terrorist group was Croatian-Bolivian citizen Eduardo Rozsa, who was shot to death along with two collaborators as he tried to begin a civil war in Bolivia.Since then, several businesspeople from Santa Cruz have been arrested for their support for the paramilitary group.
