 LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) - An American man and his Uruguayan girlfriend were arrested Wednesday after bombs severely damaged two low-budget hotels in Bolivia's capital, killing two people and injuring at least seven.
Police said they believe the pair had "religious motives" for the attack and had plans to bomb the Chilean consulate in La Paz on Saturday, according to Isaac Pemintel, the national police chief.
Police initially said the blasts were "typical of terrorist crime," and President Evo Morales lost no time in denouncing them as an attack on Bolivia's democracy.
