Supporters of pro-capitalist and pro-US seperatism in Bolivia have attacked the police headquarters of Santa Cruz province within days of a referendum which gave resounding support to the government of Evo Morales and his vice president García Linera.
According to reports from TeleSur TV, Garcia Linera has spoken of precise information that such attacks have been planned for the next week in Santa Cruz province and have been orchestrated by the defeated opposition who are using the youth group "Unión Juvenil Cruceñista" and some students from the University of Gabriel René Moreno. They have already attacked public state university departments and national government offices.

In both commercial & indymedia we can read of ongoing confrontations and attacks.
13/8/08 at 18h30 local time the department of law and social studies was attacked with molotov cocktails in not only a direct attack on a state maintained public educational institute but also an attempt to foment inter-student violence. (C/f Bolivia IMC feature

This morning At approximately 04H00 local time 08H00 UTC - groups of youths armed with chains, bars and little blunt injury stuff were evicted from the offices of Bolivian hydrocarbon resources in Santa Cruz by the police. YPFB is the state Bolivian company which runs subsoil oil and gas resources in the name of the Bolivian people since it was nationalised as part of the Morales rise to power in 2006. That these offices were occupied by seperatists indicates the extent of their ambition goes beyond mere blunt injury or new flags. Their agenda is nothing short of expropriation of the wealth and resources of all Bolivians which given that they have no stated plans to exploit or develop those resouces means they will be returned to western Oil and Gas corporations & their shareholders.
After the police had succesfully evicted the seperatists, they then attacked the police HQ in Santa Cruz (see accompanying photograph)
