A former Bolivian president Evo Morales said gunmen fired a hail of bullets at his car Sunday as he traveled to a radio interview in the central city of Cochabamba, wounding his driver.
“The car in which I arrived has 14 bullet holes,” said Morales, adding: “This was planned. The idea was to kill Evo.”
The radio station that hosted the interview, Kawsachun Coca, released a video that it said was of the bullet-ridden pickup truck that Morales had been in.
