The CIA's Chase to Catch the Infamous Che Guevara

The CIA launched an extensive manhunt to capture the legendary Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara, who had become a symbol of anti-Americanism and a thorn in the agency's side. Following his involvement in guerrilla campaigns in Cuba and the Congo, Guevara traveled to Bolivia in 1966 to spark a revolution. The CIA, aware of his presence, dispatched agents to infiltrate Guevara's group and gather intelligence. After a months-long operation, the CIA tracked down Guevara's camp and coordinated with the Bolivian army to surround it. In a fierce firefight, Guevara was captured and executed, marking the end of the CIA's relentless pursuit of one of history's most enigmatic and influential revolutionaries.
