"Unbalanced" US bomber in Bolivia likes Bin Laden, hates Bush

La Paz.– Bolivian authorities said Thursday that the U.S. citizen arrested for detonating two powerful bombs here that killed two people claimed to be a "follower" of Osama bin Laden and said his intention was to sow terror, but they added that the suspect appears to be mentally ill.

"He claimed to be a follower of Bin Laden, and said he came to Bolivia to sow terror," Fiorilo said of Lestat.

"During the questioning, he said to an officer present: 'Take out your gun and put a bullet in my head,'" said the prosecutor. He said Lestat "is a person who was looking for protagonism," and that the suspect requested that a television be brought to the interrogation room "to see what impact his deeds had caused." The request was granted.

Lestat "enjoyed seeing those images (of the damaged buildings). He asked: 'How many died?' And when we told him, he said, 'That's too few, because I wanted to kill a hundred in the first hotel and a hundred in the second,'" Fiorilo told the press.
