Terrorists taking over Bolivian coca, or an excuse for a new policy?
A special prosecutor in Bolivia has anticipated the conclusion of his investigation to announce that he is now convinced of the presence of terrorists in the country — specifically in the coca-growing regions. This could be the first step towards justifying military action on grounds other than the virtually abandoned coca-eradication objectives. It may also cast a different light on repeated claims by the coca-growers' leader, Evo Morales, that he has become the target of a campaign directed from the US embassy.
