October 9th, 1967, the man who killed Ernesto Guevara created, unwittingly, a myth. In two blasts.

Quick, easy and effective: the Revolution, in one fell swoop, had lost a fighter and gained a martyr.

La Higuera, October 9th, 1967, 1:10 pm: Mario Terán Salazar, Bolivian Army sergeant, followed the instructions of Félix Ismael Rodríguez Mendigutía, anti-Castroist and former CIA officer, who had been ordered by René Barrientos, Bolivia's president at the time, and, with two blasts from a machinegun, put an end to the life of guerrilla leader Ernesto Guevara, "Che", who had been wounded and captured the day before, following a combat in the Quebrada del Yuro ravine, at the side of his guerrilla.

The living myth had become a martyr of the Revolution that he loved, had dedicated his entire life to and died for.
