Via IKN, ABI reports that Thor and Alex (he who would pour molten silver in his detractors’ eye), of faux-human-rights group Human Rights Foundation, are being eyed by the Bolivian government for their link between “Tower” fugitive Hugo Antonio Achá Melgar and dead terrorist-cell leader Eduardo Rózsa Flores (HRF has been operating illegally in Bolivia).

My musings that Itegrated Risk Management’s senior employees/owners/management might be the Dwyer-Flores connection are apparently not quite right:
MICHAEL DWYER, the Tipperary man shot dead in Bolivia, worked in security on the Shell Corrib project with a Hungarian associate of the main target of the Bolivian police attack.
It now seems likely that Tibor Revesz, 32, who [...]

Via Otto, looks like innocent Michael Dwyer, the Irishman killed earlier this month in Santa Cruz during the police operation to neutralize the terrorist cell led by Balkan thug Eduardo Rózsa Flores, was also a thug. These weapons in these pictures certainly do not look like paintball guns. (Click over to Otto’s place for the [...]

Michael Dwyer, the Irishman killed in Santa Cruz earlier this month–and who appears to be guilty of conspiring (at the least) to kill a Bolivia’s president–has been portrayed in the foreign press as a misguided young man who fell under the spell of Hungarian-Bolivian-Croatian head henchman (and all-around nasty war junkie and alleged murderer) Eduardo [...]

Two lawyers, Hugo Antonio Achá Melgar and Alejandro Melgar Pereira, have been linked to the Santa Cruz terror cell. They’re being investigated as the financial conduit to the terror group; the origin of the money–which was used to buy guns, explosives, and swanky hotel rooms–remains unknown. What is known, though, is that Achá and Melger–code-named [...]

The wheels are turning in the Bolivian terror-cell investigation, and it’s not looking too good for the opposition groups centered in Santa Cruz. And, as always, Bina’s been churning through the Bolivian press and coming up with gold. (I’ve been traveling, so this is a recap–also, I think it’s time to drop the “alleged” descriptor; [...]

The Independent has some more news on Dwyer.
Funny, I was just having a conversation with an Irishman last night about this kid. He was adamant about his innocence. Off to the countryside today. Definitely more on Flores and his earlier activities tonight.

From ABI, reports of a link between Cotas, the Santa Cruz telephone company, and Eduardo Rózsa Flores, the alleged terror-cell leader who was killed last week. Apparently Flores, using the name Jorge Hurtado Flores, was contracted by Cotas to give Internet technical assistance. He thereby gained access to a kiosk at the Feria Exposición de [...]

Bina’s got news from ABI about a purported list of 100 “traitors” to autonomy medialuna that was circulated on April 12, two days before the confrontation in a Santa Cruz hotel that resulted in the deaths of three alleged foreign terrorists, and the capture of two more, who are accused of plotting to kill president [...]

There’s been claims that Morales is blocking an international investigation of last week’s events. I hope we can finally lay this to rest. From ABI:
El presidente Evo Morales se dijo el martes a favor de una investigación internacional para establecer los alcances de un núcleo terrorista radicado en Bolivia y que incluso planificaba asesinarlo.
President Evo [...]
