A diplomatic row has erupted between Spain and Venezuela after a Spanish judge accused officials in Caracas of plotting with rebel groups to kill Colombian President Álvaro Uribe and other political officials.

Spanish National Court Judge Eloy Velasco charged on Monday that the government of Hugo Chávez had been working as an intermediary between the Basque separatist group ETA and the Colombian guerrilla group Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). The groups were allegedly plotting against prominent political figures living in or traveling through Spain. Venezuelan officials have dismissed these allegations as “biased and unfounded.”

WOW!!!! If true this is an act of war. I bet Colombia can kick the Venezuelian army's arse.

This finding is surprising in that one would think that a judge in a Marxist country like Spain would side with the Marxist...not with the friend of the West.

Chavex miscalculated in trying to work with ETA.

I bet Colombia can kick the Venezuelian army's arse.

I'm not so sure.Chavez has lots of friends who can give him lots of bullets and you can be sure that Columbia will have nobody to turn to for help.Not us...not the Europeans...

Of course he did. He’s a marxist. Marxists have no principles other than winning by any means whatsoever. In a sane world, he would be forced to resign.

Is this that nutty Spanish judge again?

Colombia might receive support from Israel. Fuerza Aerea Colombiana’s has been supplied Israeli-built Kfir fighters.
