Harry Prado Salmon led a group of Bolivian special forces trained and funded by the US. The general’s son said that for his father the greatest achievement in life was to contribute to the transformation of the armed forces into a democratic and legal institution.
Harry Prado Salmon, who led a group of US-trained and funded Bolivian special forces, has died at the age of 84. This was announced today, May 8, according to Sky News.
The group initially consisted of 120 people, later its number decreased to 22. These people kidnapped and killed Cuban leader Ernesto Che Guevara in Bolivia.
In 1981, an officer friend accidentally shot Prado Salmon in the spine, after which the general had to use a wheelchair. The general’s son said that for his father the greatest achievement in life was to contribute to the transformation of the armed forces into a democratic and legal institution. Prado passed away at the age of 84. According to media reports, he recently suffered from kidney problems.
Recall that in 2000 Time magazine included Che Guevara in their list of “20 Heroes and Icons” and “The Hundred Most Important Persons of the 20th Century”.
The world-famous two-tone portrait of Che Guevara from the front has become a symbol of the romantic revolutionary movement. On October 8, Cuba celebrates Hero Guerrilla Day in memory of Ernest Che Guevara.
Today, May 8, it is reported that a former employee of the cardiology department of the Charite clinic in Berlin was detained on suspicion of killing two patients.
