You know every time I read or hear something about the coward and murderer Che Guevara in the news, internet etc I keep hearing the same (BS) thing, the Bolivians killed him. That might and might not be true. What we do know is the Army Green Beret's were sent to Bolivia to assist in the capture/ killing of Che Guevara. And soon after their arrival Che was killed. And what I also heard was when Che Guevara was captured he cried like a bitch and begged for his life...... that's how cowards die.
Well done and hats off to the 8th Special Forces Group on a mission well done.
How did Che Guevara die?
How Che Guevara was killed
Killing Che Guevara
From the NYT's article:
"According to these accounts, a team of 10 to 12 Green Berets from the Eighth Special Forces Group based in Panama was sent to Bolivia in late 1967 as part of a C.I.A.-sponsored plan to train Bolivian forces in counterinsurgency techniques and to help the Bolivians stalk Guevara. In a camp located at the outskirts of La Paz, the Americans worked with 100 to 150 Bolivian special-forces troops. During the training program, Bolivian intelligence agents reported that Guevara was in the mountains east of La Paz. The Green Berets, according to a participant, conducted their own intelligence check and confirmed Guevara's presence.
The next step was to formulate a plan to capture him. The bulk of this preparation was handled by the Americans, and over the course of several weeks a small team of Bolivians was specially selected and trained for the operation. In the end, the action was relatively straightforward, with the Bolivians and their American advisers tracking down Guevara in a remote mountain village where he was training guerrillas. ''He was caught and executed on the spot,'' said a former Green Beret who was there. ''The Bolivians pulled the trigger. They needed to get the credit.'' Guevara's body was brought back to the camp, where it was identified by two American intelligence agents who had flown in from Panama. "
