Here's a CNN link that opens DC.
Different wording though, of course.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Investigators found remnants of C-4 explosives at three spots on the pipeline, Chacon said.
"Just one of them managed to break the oil pipeline," he told reporters.
The blast was "clearly intended to destabilize" the country, Ramirez told reporters, saying those responsible aimed to disrupt operations at Paraguana.
A gas pipeline running along the same route was also attacked, he said. Authorities removed explosives from one site before they went off, and at a second site the charge was too weak to cause any damage.
Two electrical stations on the west coast of Lake Maracaibo also were sabotaged, Ramirez said, without giving details.
Nobody was hurt by the explosion Saturday night in a remote region of western Venezuela, and firefighters extinguished a fierce blaze caused by the blast."

"Venezuela, Iran Sign Oil Deposits Deal"
Dec 5th - 4:32pm
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "President Hugo Chavez has said that would make Venezuela home to the world's largest reserves of oil. At present, Saudi Arabia has the world's top reserves with about 262 billion barrels.
PDVSA has divided the 1,357-square mile Orinoco belt into 27 blocks for reserve surveys. Thirteen of those are being conducted by foreign companies, including Petropars, Brazil's Petrobras and China National Petroleum Corp.
Ties between Caracas and Tehran have tightened under Chavez, who views Iran as an ally in his struggle to build an international alliance to counter U.S. economic and political dominance.
The two governments have signed dozens of other agreements, including plans for a cement company, an auto parts plant and a project to build 10,000 homes in Venezuela.
Venezuela and Iran are also both members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and have consistently backed efforts to bolster prices by controlling production volumes."
