Facebook bans 'gunman' group

Other

KEY POINTS:

    The social-networking site Facebook has removed a group whose title advocated raising money so a gunman could be hired to "liquidate" Bolivia's leftist president, Evo Morales.

    The Spanish-language group, created in August, had 8069 members and had drawn the attention of at least one outraged blogger, when
    AP alerted Facebook about it.

    Called "Global collection to hire a sharpshooter to liquidate Evo Morales", the group's first description line stated: "We need to get the money to inspire someone to do it."
