One of the terrorists that was shot and killed in Bolivia the other day made a movie about himself. I can't find it in English.
Bolivian police shot and killed three foreign nationals, as well as wounding and arresting two others, in a hotel in the city of Santa Cruz. What is not entirely clear is the connection between the men, who national authorities say were a part of a terrorist cell that had been planning to kill many members of government, including President Evo Morales, as well as others from the opposition. One man, in particular, has emerged as the ringleader of the group, Eduardo Rózsa-Flores, a Bolivian-Hungarian citizen with a long history. The media, as well as bloggers, have been trying to piece together his background in order to draw conclusions.
Miguel Centellas of Pronto* summarizes a bit of Rózsa-Flores' path demonstrating many different facets of his life following different ideologies:
Much of these connections, as well as speculation, were pieced together based on the discovery of Rózsa-Flores' blog
called “Sic semper tyrannis” and often translated to “Death to Tyrants.” As mentioned by Blogs Bolivia , the blog is mostly written in Hungarian, but includes some interviews in Spanish as well as English. He also opened other blogs called David Versus Goliath about the conflict in Gaza and another blog Mi Patria Natal that collects photos of his birth country Bolivia.
The life of Rózsa-Flores was made into a movie, which starred Rózsa-Flores as himself, called “Chico” and details his participation in the war in Croatia. The trailer is below:
