 Bolivia's president denies allegations of orchestrating a failed coup led by the country's former army chief. Shortly before he was arrested on Wednesday, General Zuniga told reporters he'd been ordered to stage the uprising by the president, who the military chief said had wanted to boost his popularity and appear as a strongman. President Arce denies this, but General Zuniga's exact motives for taking troops into the center of La Paz are unclear. The general said he wanted to create real democracy.
