* Nasser Mohammed al-Din : A powerful entrepreneur and a close personal friend of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, at whose home in Margarita the Venezuelan president stays on his frequent visits to the resort island, which is also a favored venue for his private meetings with Castro.
Margarita Island appears to be the center of an extensive terrorist financial network stretching throughout the Caribbean to Panama and the Cayman Islands, where three Afghanis traveling on false Pakistani passports were caught entering from Cuba with $200,000 in cash in August 2001.
According to British colonial authorities, efforts to launder the money through Cayman banks also involved a group of Arab businessmen.

Chavez is president for life. He will not leave voluntarily.
If he confronts us too directly, he will find himself in the cell next to Noriega. If he doesn't, he will live a long life in Miraflores and die of old age there. If you like him, you are in luck. He will be president until your grandkids are grown.
Unless one of his henchmen take him out, which is entirely possible. But it won't be us.
