HeadlineFeb 27, 2008

Presidential Minister Juan Ramon Quintana would visit just weeks after it was revealed a top US embassy official told a group of Peace Corps volunteers to spy on the Cubans and Venezuelans they came across in Bolivia. Quintana says he will meet with Congress members on US efforts to support Bolivia’s wealthy opposition.
