Evo Morales
The blast occurred late Tuesday in the middle of Carnival celebrations in the city of Oruro  the capital of  President Evo Morales â home province. Police Gen. Faustino Mendoza told reporters the bomb was made of dynamite  ammonium nitrate and fuel oil  all commonly used in homemade explosives.
An ally of  Morales  publicly implied that opposition forces were behind the attack  while opposition members urged government supporters to refrain from blaming anyone without evidence. Bolivia has seen very little political violence over the last 12 years and a politically motivated bombing would be highly unusual.
 Morales â backers and opponents plan marches across the country Feb. 21  the two-year anniversary of a national vote rejecting the leftist presidentâs plan to seek a fourth term. Despite the vote  Boliviaâs Constitutional Court is allowing  Morales â plans to go forward.
âIf the explosion is an action by the ultra-right  whatâs underway is a conspiracy against democracy â Hugo Moldis  a former member of  Morales â administration  said on Twitter.
