This article on Argentinian terrorists' involvement in Bolivia is crying out for a reliable Spanish

speaker/translator beyond the crude skills of the google translation tool. Clearly a computer-generated literal word by word translation can miss the actual substance, it appears.

Any reliable (non-rightwing) poster around who has the time to look at this? Many thanks if you take a stab at this:

In his statement to the prosecutor, Ignacio Villa Vargas, driver Rózsa, detailed contacts with his chief military retirees and identified former Argentine Jorge carapintadas Mones Ruiz. Given the data provided by Villa Vargas, the multi-party commission, composed of national parliamentarians, the press predicted that the Argentine government requested information. The ambassador in La Paz, Horacio Macedo told Pagina/12 that until late on Friday had not received any official notice on these meetings. Instead, it has managed the request for extradition from another fugitive military for crimes against humanity, Luis Enrique Baraldini.

Villa Vargas, who has been accused of terrorism by the same prosecutor, went from being head of the Young Cruceños, a secessionist organization in Santa Cruz, a driver Rózsa. During his lengthy testimony, "El Viejo" said the group's objective derailed last April 16 at Las Americas Hotel Santa Cruz was planning to assassinate the president Evo Morales, his vice Alvaro Garcia Linera and the prime minister, Juan Ramon Quintana. Details Rózsa's links with the Santa Cruz prefect, Rubén Costas, the former head of the Comité Pro Santa Cruz, Branko Marinkovic, and said that one pillar was financial Hugo Antonio Acha Melgar, head of the Human Wright Foundation , who left the country and settled in the United States just started the investigation. On Friday, the prosecutor Marcelo Sosa-command of the instruction-ordered the seizure of the assets of Achao. "The Code of Criminal Procedure states in an article in the pre-annotation of the declared goods or fugitive rebel who evade justice," said Sosa, under the decree of confiscation of property to those who have financed and supported terrorist activities in Bolivia.

"Los Gauchos"
- What other international links had Rózsa? 'He asked the prosecutor to Villa Vargas.

-Only with the gringos, but once I took it to a reunion at the Hotel Los Tajibos, where he met Dr Asha, a woman and another person told me it was an Argentine military which I remember well the name because it seemed fun: name was Mona Ruiz (sic) with him and entered the hotel Acha and out while wearing his hotel, he told me he had done a good deal and that the gauchos would come to train our people. Then I said I would get an advance and he had to see where it begins to accommodate the work. I think we arrived about seven, but I saw only once, in these things he was very reserved.

The surname that was sympathetic to Villa Vargas is actually Mones Ruiz, resulting carapintadas that participated in the uprisings against democracy in the 80's in defense of the impunity of the perpetrators of state terrorism. Between 25 and March 30 was in the former carapintadas Bolivia as part of an advance team UnoAmérica, the wing that is intended to be the recruitment of UNASUR and said he was investigating the Slaughter of Pando in order to submit a complaint against the government of Morales before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (see separate article).

On May 12, appropriated Pagina/12 that a report came to the Argentine Foreign Ministry reported that "would be present in the area of Beni (northern Bolivia) cell argentina eleven ex carapintadas in addition to two other cells ( Brazilian and Uruguayan), comprising ex-servicemen who would have been on mission in the Balkans. The aforementioned 'cell argentina' would have had contacts with sectors of 'extreme', opponents of the current government of Bolivia in Santa Cruz, Cobija, Pando department. Information, dated May 4, said that "businessmen and landowners in Santa Cruz would have required the presence of ex-servicemen in order to be instructed on self-defense to any attempted arrest by the government" .

Participation in war in the Balkans would have been the meeting place of uniformed Rózsa Argentine, Bolivian citizen-Croatian-Hungarian who became a "hero" of that war and returned to Bolivia with the goal of autonomy for Santa Cruz de la Sierra. Rózsa, who knew being a fan of the Opus Dei militant Islam and then confessed in an interview in September last year by the Hungarian TV-with a commitment to be issued only in case of death, a group of opposition politicians contacted for about a year and a half from Santa Cruz. Its main mission was to defend the region from indigenous groups and militias. "We are ready in a few months in the case of coexistence does not work and under the self-proclaimed independence (Santa Cruz) and create a new country," said Rózsa, who was also called German . The report is dated September 8, just three days later came the murder, kidnapping and torture of dozens of peasants in the department of Pando. The then prefect of the department, Leopoldo Fernandez, is in prison as being responsible for ordering the slaughter. The owner of UnoAmérica, Alejandro Pena and Esclusa Liliana Raffo, the widow of Lt. Col. Horacio Fernández Cutiellos, accompanist Mones Ruiz in his journey through Bolivia, visited the prisoner to give solidarity to the end of March. Fernández Cutiellos was killed during the attempted copamiento La Tablada Regiment from All for the Fatherland Movement (MTP) in January'89.

Where there was fire
Mones Ruiz served as military attache at the embassy in argentina Bolivia during the last dictatorship. Since then harvest active links with comrades and retired from that country. Through these corporate loyalties could rejoin society carapintadas another former fugitive from justice argentina also held the same fate diplomat Luis Enrique Baraldini. Ambassador Macedo Bolivia confirmed that Interpol is looking for the officer to request an order of Federal Judge Daniel Rafecas.

The newspaper El Nuevo Dia, Santa Cruz, published in March 2006 that it had installed a Baraldini school equinotherapy, Special Equestrian Center. At that time, Luis Baraldini called himself "Luis Pelliegre" rather than Pellegri like his mother's surname. "The intelligence and ability to work, but above all loyalty, fellowship and nobility of these animals that have done well and that children enjoy their therapy," said the former police chief of La Pampa wanted for crimes against humanity .

The soldier who disappeared in Argentina in the 2003 trial was reactivated only by the illegal repression in La Pampa content was peer Bolivians. The daily La Pampa La Arena reported that "until he was decorated by the Circle of Officers of the Army of that country in 2005 with the Grand Cross. He also served as commissioner in equestrian championships at the Country Club Cochabamba, a private exclusive neighborhood of this area. Had acted as a military attache from 1980 to 1982 where he trained and Bolivian officials also continued with the activity of riding horses. "

In his recent trip to Bolivia, Mones Ruiz would have also met with Baraldini. After those meetings, the officer left his horses and Interpol so far failed to locate him.

The progress of the investigation on the alleged terrorist group broken up in Santa Cruz de la Sierra is closing the circle of dangerous relationships.
