LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) — The Bolivian general accused of leading a failed coup has been sent to a maximum-security prison as he faces charges of terrorism and starting an armed uprising. A handcuffed Gen. Juan José Zúñiga was escorted on Saturday by two guards to the vehicle that it will take him to the Chonchocoro maximum-security prison on the outskirts of La Paz. He told journalists “at some point the truth will be known.” Authorities have arrested a total of 21 people. All of them face charges of armed uprising and terrorism.
