Bolivia Issues Arrest Warrant for Evo Morales
---------------------------------------------

In Bolivia, prosecutors have issued an arrest warrant for longtime
Bolivian President Evo Morales, accusing the ousted leader of sedition
and terrorism. Morales was forced to leave Bolivia after being ousted in
what he and many others describe as a military coup. Morales says he has
a right to return to Bolivia and help his Movement Toward Socialism
party campaign in upcoming elections. This is Morales speaking from
Argentina.

Evo Morales: "They need to let me enter Bolivia. I'm not a candidate, I
won't be a candidate in these elections, but I have a right to
participate in politics like any politician."
