Venezuela leader Maduro alleges Colombia assassination plot

8. "Mr Uribe - a fierce critic of President Chavez - " knows very well

the rest of the world, or at least those who bother to keep up, know very well about the mob of Colombian death squad members which went into Venezuela, coordinated by plans partially concocted by Venzuelan oligarchs, as per testimony of the fighters, themselves, and lived in quanset huts on the estate of Cuban-Venezuelan-Miami-connected opposition member, Roberto Alonso. There they trained, organized for their plot to break into a National Guard armory, steal 2000 rifles, ammunition, prior to their assault on Miraflores where they intended to kill Hugo Chavez and secure the government for the opposition.

After follow-up on a tip-off, the Venezuelan government raided the place, arrested the members, interrogated them, and imprisoned them. At some point later, Chavez allowed many of them to return home, saying they were actually not responsible for the plot themselves.

There were protests in the streets by Venezuelan people against the reality foreign fighters actually had invaded their own country to murder their president.

At some point Uribe was obligated to meet with President Chavez, to be confronted in a six hour meeting with him and to apologize for what had happened.

Before and after that event, Colombian paramilitaries have been caught in groups inside Venezuela on their own missions to harm government officials in other areas, and others to make their way to Caracas, as well. In one case a number of them were found with stolen cars, phony I.D.,s, guns, ammunition, after securing housing inside the city.

This is NOT hard to swallow, not one bit, based upon PAST events already known to the Latin American public, not the propaganda-fed U.S. public, obviously.
