The US Embassy in Buenos Aires informs the State Department that the body of former Bolivian President Juan Jose Torres has been found in Argentina. This event- alongside the recent assassinations of Uruguayan legislators Zelmar Michelini and Hector Gutierrez- lead the Embassy to suspect that the murders are part of a campaign to target leftist refugees in Argentina in order to spread fear among the entire exile community.
