Rival demands Chavez clarify rebel links

17 hours ago

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - A Venezuelan opposition leader is demanding
that President Hugo Chavez explain accusations of close ties between
his government and Colombian rebels.

Opposition leader Manuel Rosales says the Venezuelan leader has not
adequately responded after the international police agency Interpol
endorsed the authenticity of computer files that Colombia says it
seized from a rebel camp.

The documents indicate Chavez's government sought to finance and arm
the leftist rebels. And Interpol says its forensic tests found Colombia
did not tamper with the documents.

Chavez calls it a "big lie" and insists he hasn't sent money or arms.

But Rosales said on Friday that Chavez should "clear up" the apparently
intimate ties.
