Bolivia military post seized and soldiers kidnapped


An armed group has taken control of a military facility near the Bolivian city of Cochabamba, the country's military says, and is holding some soldiers captive.

The army had started an operation to remove blockades around the country on Friday morning, local media reported, after weeks of clashes between supporters of former President Evo Morales and the police.


In a statement, the army said the group had seized arms and ammunition and urged them to leave, warning that such actions amounted to "treason".
