LA PAZ: Bolivia on Saturday accused Spain of an abortive attempt to extract a wanted former government aide from Mexico's embassy in La Paz, prompting a sharp denial from Madrid.
Madrid said it would send a team of investigators to La Paz"in coming days." It would not confirm or deny reports an official had already left for Bolivia. Footage shown on Spanish television appeared to show guards pointing guns at an approaching car. Several men get out, at least one in dark glasses with his face covered with a balaclava. Several neighbors shouted angrily at the men and kicked their car.
But their official vehicles never turned up, and neither of them was able to reach their drivers or their security detail, a ministry statement said. The Spaniards were advised to leave the embassy on foot but refused to do so without a security detail. Eventually a Bolivian ministry car was sent to pick them up.
