HAVANA, CUBA - The Cuban forensic expert who recovered the remains of
Che Guevara said Thursday that a team from Bolivia and Cuba would join
forces to hunt for the last missing member of his revolutionary band.

"It is not a closed process - there is still a chance that we will find
him," said Jorge Gonzalez, who is credited with finding Guevara's
remains in 1997.

"We're confident of being able to bring this search to an end."

Gonzalez, who heads Havana's Institute for Medical Sciences, said
experts from both countries would try to find the site in Bolivia where
the remains of revolutionary Jesus Suarez Gayol are buried.

Guevara is a national hero in Cuba for his role in a key battle in Santa
Clara in 1958 during the Cuban revolution.

Suarez, who went by the nickname, "El Rubio" - the blond one - was among
the first of his comrades to be executed by soldiers in 1967 when the
captured band of guerrilla fighters tried to spread their Marxist
revolution to Bolivia. --AFP
