The U.S.-military-backed Bolivian forces captured Guevara on October 8 while battling his band of guerillas in Bolivia and assassinated him the following day. His hands were cut off as proof of death and his body was buried in an unmarked grave. In 1997, Guevara's remains were found and sent back to Cuba, where they were reburied in a ceremony attended by President <a href="http://www.history.com/topics/fidel-castro" target="_blank">Fidel Castro</a> and thousands of Cubans.</blockquote>
