Che Guevara: Bolivian General Gary Prado Salmón who captured revolutionary dies
The Bolivian general who captured the Cuban revolutionary Ernesto " Che" Guevara and became a national hero has died aged 84.
In 1967 Gary Prado Salmón led a military operation in Bolivia, backed by US Secret Service agents, that defeated a communist insurrection organised by Che Guevara .
At The Time Bolivia had a right-wing military government.
An Army Officer executed Argentina-born Guevara A Day after his arrest.
The Cold War between the US and Soviet Union was at its height and Washington was extremely concerned about communist influence in Latin America , including Che Guevara 's activities.
He had left Cuba after the triumph of the 1959 revolution there, to lead guerrilla movements in other countries. He was a key ally of Cuban communist leader Fidel Castro and became a hero for communists worldwide.
Gen Prado's son described his father as " an extraordinary person" who left " A Legacy of love, integrity and courage".
The Bolivian officer who shot and killed Che Guevara was Mario Terán, who died Last Year .
After ambushing Guevara's guerrilla group Gen Prado was made a national hero for having defended the Bolivian military regime.
He had led US-trained Bolivian Rangers in a remote jungle region where Che Guevara 's group, originally numbering about 120, had declined to just 22.
Since 1981 Gen Prado had been a wheelchair user, after a bullet fired accidentally hit him in The Spine . He wrote a book about his 1967 triumph, called How I Captured Che.
According to his son, " for him capturing Che was not The Most important thing he did in his Life - rather, it was to contribute to making The Armed forces a democratic institution that would respect The Constitution and laws".
Che Guevara was executed in the Bolivian village of La Higuera , 830km (516 miles) south of La Paz , and his body was buried in a Secret Location . In 1997 his remains were discovered, exhumed and returned to Cuba, where he was reburied.
