U.S., British and Spanish embassies warned of firebomb attacks
2004-01-17
United States, British and Spanish embassies in Caracas have been warned of possible firebomb attacks against their legations by as yet unidentified radical groups ... intelligence sources say attacks could take place any time between now and next Tuesday ... the British and US embassies have issued emergency warnings to resident citizens. British Embassy officials are reported to have said that according to information recieved, a radical group is planning an attack using an incendiary device ... the radical group has not been identified but it is understood to be linked to previous bombings at the Spanish embassy and Colombian consulate in Caracas last February when substantial damage was done and three were left injured in separate blasts. Those terrorist attacks have been conclusively linked to rebel Venezuelan military officers who had maintain a year-long anti-government protest in Plaza Altamira in eastern Caracas. Four named officers have fled the country and are now sought on Interpol fugitive warrants in southern Florida (USA) where they have petitioned Washington D.C. for political asylum.
Doesn't make sense. Why would Hugo's opposition firebomb us?

#1  Or would it be Chavez' supporters pinning the blame elsewhere?

Or, perhaps more likely given the 3 countries named, Islamacists to whom Chavez has given refuge, passports etc?
