Bolivian President Evo Morales said the U.S. organized teams to track down and kill him, according to a note published on the Bolivian presidential Web site.

Morales, speaking at the opening of a hospital that was built with help from Cuba in the town of Escoma, Bolivia, said he recently found out about the plots against him, the state newswire ABI said in the report on the presidential Web site.

The allegations are unfounded, U.S. Embassy in La Paz said in a statement sent to journalists by E-mail. Calls to the Bolivian presidential palace requesting comment were not returned.
