Inside Story of Castro Aid to Bolivia
Riesel reports that Cuba financed a Bolivian plot to seize power and create a Castro aligned state. The plan aimed to kill Americans, dismantle the Catholic church, and form a China-Cuba-Bolivia axis led by Juan Lechin. Bolivia arrested 70 Communist leaders in June, thwarting the uprising. The piece notes U.S. aid to Bolivia and critiques a State Department luncheon honoring Lechin, linking it to anti-U.S. action.
