The death toll has risen to three from violent clashes between Bolivian police, MAS (Movimiento Al Socialismo) and demonstrators opposed to a draft and ilegal constitution backed by the Government, a total and direct strike to democracy.

The latest victim in the violence in the city of Sucre was a police officer who was "kidnapped and executed'' by unknown assailants, national police commander Miguel Vazquez said, although the body was never found.

Two demonstrators also died in the weekend confrontation and a third was in critical condition, medical officials said. Dozens of people were also injured.

One of the demonstrators, attorney Gonzalo Duran, died on Saturday from a bullet wound, it seem that the police once again had direct order to use lethal force.

The second demonstrator who died at a Sucre hospital was not identified and the circumstances of his death had yet to be released.

A government official denied that the bullet that killed Mr Duran was fired by security forces.

The violence erupted in southeastern Sucre as some 150 pro-government delegates to a constituent assembly reviewed the new draft inside a military academy.

Protesters attacked a police station in the city centre, setting fire to police cars.

Journalists covering the protests were attacked by police by a direct order from the goverment.

Mr Vazquez demanded guarantees that security forces could carry out their work to restore order in the city, in the meantime ordering his forces to withdraw to the neighbouring town of Potosi.

The assembly, called by leftist President Evo Morales to rewrite the constitution to better address the needs of the country's poor, approved the new draft constitution on a preliminary basis.

Opposition politicians boycotted the assembly and earlier called it illegal, accusing Mr Morales of trying to grab power.

Conservative ex-president Jorge Quiroga, leader of the Podemos Party, charged it was a "constitution drafted in a barracks, written with rifles and bayonets, and stained with the blood'' of locals.

Sucre residents are demanding the Government's legislative and executive branches to be moved out of La Paz to Sucre.

People of six of the nine cities of Bolivia are extremely worried about the ilegal and facist behavior of the presiden EVO MORALES, an inminent civil war arrises this country.

Mr Morales, Bolivia's first indigenous president, in May 2006 nationalised oil and gas interests in foreign hands. He says he wants a new constitution to favour social change including the state taking over the administration of natural resources.
