"The time has come, the awaited day, a historic day in which Bolivia retakes absolute control of our natural resources," Morales, Bolivia's first Indian president, said in a speech from the San Alberto field operated by Petrobras in association with Repsol and Total SA.

Vice President Alvaro Garcia Linera said troops were sent to 56 locations nationwide. "The looting by the foreign companies has ended," Morales declared.
