Venezuela weapons worry US, Colombia

Posted by Matt in May 16th, 2008

The United States and Colombia have long been wary of Venezuela’s peacetime military buildup, suspecting the weapons could end up in the hands of drug-trafficking Colombian rebels.

Now they have documented reasons for their worries — certified by Interpol.

Colombian rebel computer files described Thursday as authentic by the international police agency suggest a dramatic arms buildup by President Hugo Chavez could benefit leftist guerrillas that the U.S. has spent billions to defeat.
