Also in
this section:  Honoring the memory of Che Guevara On
October 8, 1967, Bolivian Army rangers assisted by US Army special
forces advisors captured Argentine revolutionary
Ernesto "Che" Guevara.
The Bolivian and American soldiers had been directed toward the
guerrilla band that Che led by a team of specialists from the
University of Michigan flying high above and using infrared sensors
capable of detecting the heat from the rebels'
campfires. Shortly after his capture Guevara, a doctor of
medicine
and one of the military leaders of the Cuban Revolution, then for
several
years a minister in Fidel Castro's government, was executed. October 8
has since then been observed as the Day of the Heroic Guerrilla in Cuba.
A photogenic, articulate and ruthless leftist leader, Guevara's image and legend have taken on lives of their own since his death and about four decades after his demise a government disposed to honor that legend came to power in Bolivia. We see that here, as Bolivian Ambassador Édgar Solíz appears at a University of Panama event honoring the memory of Che Guevara. Photo by José F. Ponce Also in
