Bolivia: House arrest for general who caught 'Che'
A retired Bolivian general famous for capturing Ernesto "Che" Guevara was ordered held under house arrest Friday in connection with an alleged plot against President Evo Morales.
Prosecutors allege that Gen. Gary Prado exchanged "ultrasecret" encrypted e-mail with Eduardo Rozsa, a Bolivian-born Hungarian who was slain in an April 2009 raid by an elite police unit.
Authorities say Rozsa and two other men killed–an Irishman and an ethnic Hungarian from Romania–were involved in a conspiracy to create a separatist right-wing militia in the eastern, opposition-dominated state of Santa Cruz. Morales said at the time that a plot to assassinate him had been foiled.
