Documents indicate that Chavez helped Colombia rebels

Posted by Matt in May 12th, 2008

Documents that Colombia says it recovered from a slain guerrilla leader give the clearest indication yet that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez sought to arm and finance insurgents across the border.

The documents — more than a dozen internal rebel messages — detail several years of close cooperation between top officials in Venezuela’s government and military and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, including the construction of rebel training facilities on Venezuelan soil.

They also suggest Venezuela was preparing to loan the rebels at least US$250 million (euro190 million), provide them with Russian weapons and possibly even help them obtain surface-to-air missiles for use against Colombian military aircraft.

Freed Colombian Hostages in Venezuela
(CNN) -- Two hostages freed by Colombian rebels have landed in the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, where dozens of their friends and family carrying flowers clapped and embraced them. The pair are Consuelo Gonzalez, a Colombian politician who had been in custody for more than 6½ years, and Clara Rojas, an aide to fellow hostage and former Colombian presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt. The rebels have not agreed to release Betancourt. Rojas kissed her white-haired mother, who was using a walker and wearing a cross on a necklace. She pulled back a few inches to gaze at her and say a few words, then pulled her close for another embrace. Gonzalez was handed a child who appeared too young to have been alive when she was last free, then was handed a cell phone on which she began to...

FARC, six years in the jungle
Ingrid Betancourt is the symbolic victim of one of the modern world's longest running civil wars. FARC, the guerrillas operating in the Colombian jungle, has been fighting the government for 40 years. Ingrid Betancourt has been in their hands for the past 6, trapped between the rock of the government and the hard place of the rebels. The recent liberation of two hostages--Claire Rojas, former campaign director for Ingrid Betancourt, and Consuelo Gonzales--has given new impetus to the dispute over the fate of the other FARC-held hostages.
