| Chavez Vows to Find Prosecutor's Killers | |
| 2004-11-20 | |
President Hugo Chavez vowed to track down the killers of a state attorney whose death in a car bomb has shaken the oil-rich South American nation and renewed the specter of violence. However he appeared to back away from a claim by his spokesman that "terrorists" training in Florida were responsible for the assassination of Danilo Anderson. Anderson, known to many Venezuelans as the "super prosecutor," was preparing a case against nearly 400 people who backed Venezuela's 2002 coup. He was killed when two explosions ripped through his SUV as he drove through the capital around midnight Thursday. "The attack against Danilo Anderson is an attack against all of us," Chavez said in a televised address to the nation late Friday, adding that it was also an attack on Venezuelans' dreams for democracy.

| #2 Fred, They will never find the killers because they come from Chavez's rank. He needed something big to keep the propaganda going: the Oligarchs aided by the US want to destroy our precious revolution. They want to shut the voices of the downtrodden and blah, blah, blah. With oil prices on the decline, he knows that very soon, Venezuelan will begin to question what he has done with the billions and billions of dollars from the recent oil bonanza. The funds for all his handouts, in the form of social programs, are drying up and the economy is in shambles. He had to create a major distraction! This is one of the articles where he blames the US. http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=worldNews&storyID=6874322&src=rss/worldNews |

| #1 He as always used the occasion to blame the US. Is he mad because we pretty much ignore his oversized ego and him? A remote controled bomb was used. This was not some amateur hit. I think he does protest to much. |
