1. My God! And to think we've had a few visiting posters here who've
tried to claim Hugo Chavez is connected to Colombian FARC's. This is the absolutely limit of absurdity, and viciousness.

From the article:
Three Venezuelan's from the same family, Rolando, Otoniel, and Juan Batista Guevera were arrested shortly after the murder for planting and detonating the bomb that killed Anderson. Those alleged of planning and ordering the assassination include a retired Venezuelan general, an anti-Cuban militant, and two leading opposition figures.

Retired General Eugenio Añez Núñez and anti-Cuban activist Salvador Romaní were arrested over the weekend. Nelson Mezerhane, a businessman involved in the oppositional TV station Globovisión, and Patricia Poleo, a leading opposition journalist have not been captured by the police and are currently in hiding.

According to Vasquez De Armas, he was sent by the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia to help provide operational support for the bombing after the plotters came to the organization for help. The Public Ministry said he and his family are currently under the witness protection program as they fear for the lives. This is why the Ministry says he cannot appear openly to discuss his testimony.

The defense lawyers for General Añez and Mr. Romani have claimed that the testimony of one Colombian paramilitary is not enough to prosecute their clients. The Judge in charge of the case, Alejandra Rivas Aliendres, said that Vasquez De Armas's testimony was not the only one and that the charges were based upon, "12 separate pieces of evidence."

I hope every last bit of information gets illuminated in this. Killing Danilo Anderson was evil, but learning it was also connected to yet ANOTHER assassination plot against Hugo Chavez is beyond redemption.

ALL these people need to be located and tried. ALL of them, including any U.S. citizens.
