LA PAZ (Reuters) - Bolivian President Evo Morales' plane was not searched while the leftist leader was stranded in Vienna, the Bolivian defence minister said on Wednesday, contradicting Austrian authorities' statements that a police officer boarded the plane with Morales' permission.
Defence Minister Ruben Saavedra said no one boarded the presidential aircraft - presumably to search for fugitive U.S. intelligence analyst Edward Snowden - because Morales refused them entry. Bolivia's vice president said officials had made their way up to the door of the aircraft, however.
