Shots have been fired at Evo Moralesβ car, according to footage posted on his social media account
Boliviaβs former president Evo Morales has survived an assassination attempt, a video published on his Facebook page on Sunday suggests. The politician was reportedly unharmed in the attack, which allegedly has left his driver injured.
A four-minute video taken from the inside of Moralesβ vehicle starts with him sitting in the front seat of the car next to his driver and talking on the phone. Later, the clip shows visible bullet holes in the vehicleβs windscreen. The driver appears to have blood on his head but is apparently still capable of driving. The rear windshield can be seen almost smashed by the bullets.
According to Morales himself, some 14 shots were fired at the car.
The caption says that the former president was about to go on his usual Sunday routine when his vehicle was intercepted by two cars in the central Bolivian town of Shinahota early in the morning. Four hooded people dressed in black emerged from the cars and opened fire on the ex-presidentβs vehicle, it claims.
