>Cochabamba, Bolivia, is once again at the center of a nationwide conflict.

>
>Before-yesterday, the prefectura was burned (the equivalent in the U.S. would be the Governor's building or something), and two cars were burned, but no people had died yet.
>
>Several attacks against reporters.

>No URL yet, but check the news in a few hours.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
