Bolivia arrests multiple high-ranking military and

intelligence officials following failed coup

CNN —
Bolivia has arrested more than a dozen high-ranking military and intelligence officials following a failed attempt to unseat the country’s president in a coup allegedly led by its former army chief.
Military officials first held meetings in May to plot the coup attempt on Wednesday, which involved mobilizing armed forces toward the capital’s main square and seizing power “by force,” according to a report sent to CNN by the Bolivian government.
The meetings were led by former army chief Gen. Juan Jose Zúñiga and former navy commander Gen. Juan Arnez, with Zúñiga’s civilian personal adviser allegedly devising the “strategy” of the coup, the report claims.
All three men are among 17 people arrested so far in connection with Wednesday’s events – most of them members of the military, the report says. Other top officials arrested include military intelligence chief Julio Buitrago.

Bolivia, which has seen almost 40 attempted or successful coups since 1946, has been wracked by dwindling foreign currency reserves, particularly the US dollar, and shortages of fuel and other necessities. Tensions have also been rising over plans by leftist former president Evo Morales to challenge one-time Arce ally in next year’s general elections.
The investigation into Wednesday’s events will continue until all “participants” in the coup are identified, according to the Bolivian government report.
It also says the country’s Air Force commander was involved with planning the failed coup, but no one of that description is included in the list of arrests.
CNN has requested clarification from the government and asked if those arrested have legal representation.

Commentary:
Smells of another CIA assisted plot gone wrong.
You have to wonder if the CIA used the same agents they utilized in the Jan 6th false flag operation.
