Senate study warns of broader anti US riots abroad
A Senate internal security subcommittee study cites four major riots in Japan, Colombia, Venezuela, and Bolivia as evidence of Communist use of mob violence to push anti-American aims.

The incidents include Bogota in April 1958, Caracas during Nixon’s 1958 visit, La Paz after a Time article in March 1959, and Tokyo before Eisenhower’s 1959 visit.
