New Bolivian President Suspends Indefinitely US-Led Drug Enforcement Operations


President Evo Morales has announced he is suspending "indefinitely" the operations of the US Drug Enforcement Administration in Bolivia.

Mr Morales accused the agency of having encouraged anti-government protests in the country in September.

He did not say whether its staff would be asked to leave the country, as coca- growers have been pressing him to do.
