Spanish judge accuses Venezuela of rebel ties
|
Mon Mar 1, 2010 CBC News A Spanish judge has accused the Venezuelan government of assisting two rebel groups who plotted to kill Colombia's President Alvaro Uribe. The allegation from Judge Eloy Velasco comes in a 26-page indictment of six members of the Basque group ETA and seven members of the leftist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia — known by the Spanish acronym FARC — for a number of crimes, including terrorism and conspiracy to commit murder. Velasco said a Spanish probe launched in 2008 turned up evidence "that demonstrates Venezuelan governmental co-operation in the illicit collaboration between FARC and ETA."
