- ALT1: ... that Bolivian consul-general Roberto Quintanilla was assassinated in his Hamburg, Germany, office by Monika Ertl? Source: "por eso la hace pasar a su despacho ... En esos cinco segundos que ambos han quedado a solas, la joven saca un revólver Colt modelo Cobra calibre .38 SPL de su cartera y le pega tres balazos que ingresan por debajo de la tetilla derecha del desgraciado cónsul. ... Él está mortalmente herido y se va muriendo de a poco. Ella se llama Monika Ertl" which Google translates as "he invites her into his office ...In those five seconds that they were alone, the young woman took a Colt Cobra model revolver, caliber .38 SPL, from her purse and fired three shots that entered below the right nipple of the unfortunate consul. ... He is mortally wounded and is slowly dying. Her name is Monika Ertl" from: Di Genova, Facundo (26 January 2022).

- ALT2: ... that the death of Bolivian intelligence officer Roberto Quintanilla by assassination has been attributed to a curse resulting from his involvement in the killing of Che Guevara? Source: " In the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra another team of Cuban doctors restored the eyesight of Mario Terân, the soldier whose superiors ordered him to shoot Guevara point-blank. Terân was one of the men beset by Che's curse. This stigma is also said to have punished La Higuera with drought. Serrano explains it as Che's vengeance on the town that turned him in. The curse has also delighted in bedeviling Gary Prado Salmon, the general who headed the mission to capture Guevara and ordered his execution. Prado spends his old age in a wheel chair. Honorato Rojas, the peasant who alerted authorities to the whereabouts of the guerrilla band, was murdered. René Barrientos, who was president of Bolivia at the time, burned to death in a freak helicopter crash in 1969. Juan José Torrez, the army chief of staff, was killed by paramilitaries in Buenos Aires. And intelligence chief Roberto Quintanilla was shot to death by a Bolivian guerrilla fighter while serving as consul in Germany" from: Ugarte, Álex Ayala; Thompson, Chandler; Creutzmann, Sven (2009).

QPQ: Done. |
Overall: Interesting article. QPQ done; no Earwig problems. ALT0 is hampered by MOS:EGG, while ALT1 isn't compelling to readers unfamiliar with the subject. So my approval goes to ALT2. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 19:09, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review CurryTime7-24, I do quite like ALT0 but agree the link was a bit eggy, perhaps ALT3 is OK? - Dumelow (talk) 20:57, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- ALT3... that Bolivian intelligence officer Roberto Quintanilla was responsible for cutting off Che Guevara's hands?
Great work modifying the hook! That's better than ALT2. Approval for ALT3 and ALT2, in order of preference. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 21:09, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
