Some 20 military personnel are reportedly being held in Cochabamba, a political stronghold of former President Evo Morales, whose supporters have been organizing road blockades for weeks.
A recording broadcast on local media showed some uniformed soldiers with their hands behind their backs, surrounded by members of the armed group.
The lives of my instructors and soldiers are in danger," one unnamed military official said in televised footage.
Morales' supporters have been blocking roads and clashing with security forces in the central Bolivia region in recent weeks in a bid to impede his arrest on rape charges.
