Brasília, 10/17/2003 (Agência Brasil - ABr) - A Brazilian Air Force plane has just landed in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, carrying over 100 passengers, most of them Brazilians. The flight began in El Alto, Bolivia, this morning at 8:00 am.

The Brazilians decided to leave Bolivia because the country has been racked by violent protests demanding the resignation of president Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada. (AB)
