Five bodies found in Bolivia may be guerrilla soldiers killed four decades ago for their involvement with revolutionary leader Che Guevara, anthropologists claim.

The search is part of a joint project with Bolivia's Justice Ministry and other human rights organizations. Theyre hoping to retrieve the remains of another 41 fighters that belonged to the so called Teoponte guerrilla, organized in 1970 based on Guevaras ideals. They were defeated that same year.
Most of its members were killed by the Bolivian army and their bodies were never returned to their relatives.

Its good that their relatives will get to know for sure now what really happened to them, but i didnt see their names in the article.Could there be the ones that Che was buried with?
Last time i checked there were questions if che's body and "grave" was really found.

They said positive identification of the bodies have not been confirmed yet. Or it may have been in the video embedded in the article where they say that.
