What happened to Che Guevara’s guerrilla group in Bolivia in October 1967?

In October 1967, the guerrilla group led by Che Guevara in Bolivia was nearly annihilated by a special detachment of the Bolivian army, which was supported by CIA advisers.12

During the encounter on October 8, 1967, Guevara was wounded and subsequently captured. He was then shot and killed. Following his death, his hands were removed and preserved in formaldehyde to allow for fingerprint identification before his body was secretly buried. In 1997, remains believed to be those of Guevara and several of his comrades were discovered in a mass grave near Vallegrande and later transported to Cuba for burial in a memorial in Santa Clara.12
