(As you can see google didn't do a great job on this. If a Spanish speaker wants to look it over at the link, it's included at the bottom. I do think enough of the story still comes through to give someone a fair idea of what this concerns, after thinking it through as one reads, trying to get to the bigger picture.)

and in his own name. That's pretty brazen.

~snip~
Revesz Tibor,(IRMS employee), Nagy Lajos Tamás (Hungary) (possibly an Irish licensed security guard) and Ivan Pistovcák (Slovak) (Irish Licensed security guard Location Tipperary) stayed with Eduardo Rózsa Flores in the Asturias hotel in Santa Cruz between December 10 and January 9, according to Congressman Peter Maldonado, National Unity, while Luis Alberto Hurtado Vaca paid for his lodging.

With them, the cell led by Rózsa, died the morning of April 16, had ten men, five of whom can not be found: the three who left the country and also Daniel Gaspar and Hungarian Gabor Dudog. (These are reported in the Hungarian media to have worked as security guards in Ireland). Some of the five that were not captured are believed to be still working in Ireland.
(probably for IRMS)

The majority of the cell members Including Mike Dwyer worked in Security in Ireland. Probably for IRMS. It is the Irish Government that shoulld be giving explpanations to Bolivia.

Elod Toaso in his statement said that Mike accompanied Flores in planting the explosives. That is concrete evidence not heresay.

~snip~
Hugo Acha of the US NGO front "Human Rights Foundation" who admits meeting RF on four or five occasions clandestinely completes the picture.

From the Irish perspective it seems that not one, but at least four or five of this terror gang travelled from Ireland to Bolivia and was recruited and organised in Ireland. Cathar is right - Ireland should be answering questions on how this happened. If there is not an investigation, this can be taken to be complicity.

~snip~
all guns must be licensed by the police and fully automatic guns like the sten gun that Dwyer was pictured holding are completely illegal for civilians to own or possess.

Basically civilians can own shotguns, pistols, revolvers and rifles up to 6.35mm calibre.

Possession, carrying or using illegal firearms is punishable by terms of imprisonment from 6 months to 6 years. Importing and storing or transferring illegal weapons can get you up to 15 years in jail.
