http://www.swissinfo.org/sen/swissinfo.html?siteSect=143&sid=6573482&cKey=1143166912000LA PAZ, Bolivia (Reuters) - The U.S. Embassy in La Paz expressed concern on Thursday over a suggestion by Bolivian President Evo Morales that Washington was involved in hotel bombings that killed two people earlier this week.
Hours after a California man was arrested on Wednesday in connection with the bombings in La Paz, the leftist president said the attacks seemed politically motivated and questioned the U.S. commitment to fighting terrorism.
"There is a war against terrorism by the government of the United States and they send us North Americans to do terrorism in Bolivia," Morales, who took office on January 22 and regularly criticises Washington, was quoted as saying by official news agency ABI.
"I urge the government to stop terrorists coming to kill innocents," he said in a speech in the city of Santa Cruz.
