LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) - An American woman with ties to the U.S. Embassy was detained at the La Paz airport for attempting to enter Bolivia with 500 rounds of .45-caliber ammunition, officials said Thursday. Donna Thi, 20, was taken into custody by Bolivian immigration officials Wednesday night.
"An American citizen related to the embassy was carrying bullets on an American airliner, mocking all the security mechanisms," Immigration Director Magaly Zegarra told Bolivian media Thursday, in remarks broadcast by local radio stations.
"This is evidence, effectively, that someone could be orchestrating something against our country from outside."
