Venezuela's exchange control commission posts list of goods that can be imported *** CARACAS, Venezuela - Venezuela's government will not grant U.S. dollars for the importation of electronic equipment, clothing, footwear and some fruits, according to a list posted by the nation's exchange control commission on Tuesday.

The list of 6,000 items deemed essential by the exchange control commission, or Cadivi, includes various food products, medicines, personal hygiene items and industrial raw materials. The list was posted on Cadivi's Web site.

Most of the items on the list are not produced in Venezuela, which imports more than half of the goods it consumes, including almost all the medicine used by Venezuelans. U.S. dollars must pay for those imports.

Restrictions on imports form part of a new currency exchange control system that President Hugo Chavez's government is gradually implementing. ***

Bombs found in Bogotá buses [Full Text] BOGOTA - Molotov cocktails were found on three Bogotá city buses Tuesday, the latest in a much-feared urban terror campaign in Colombia's capital. One bus in the city's north end was destroyed by flames, and the other explosive devices found throughout the city were discovered before they were set off, police said. No passengers were hurt. The government was quick to point the blame: ''It was FARC terrorism,'' National Police Commander Gen. Teodoro Campo said.

URBAN VIOLENCE The FARC, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, are leftist rebels waging war here for nearly 40 years. Guerrilla tactics common in the countryside have recently made their way to urban centers, bringing a decades-old war to the cities in random incidents that sometimes appear to have no particular target. The rebel group denied responsibility for a Feb. 7 car bomb that killed 37 people at an exclusive social club. Other recent urban attacks have included a laptop bomb left in December at a hotel frequented by politicians, and mini-rockets launched at the federal prosecutor's office in November.

Tuesday's attacks were against Transmilenio buses, a transportation system inaugurated just two years ago that shuttles 800,000 people a day in designated lanes. Police said gasoline-filled bottles were left on three of the 470-bus fleet. Police confiscated Coca-Cola containers with an unusual substance inside, police Col. Marco Antonio Pedreros said. Two women allegedly seen planting the devices were arrested.

''We saw the bus was parked and started to light up,'' transportation worker Jenny Correa told local TV reporters. ``There were about 35 or 40 people on board. There was desperation, and they started to run.'' Everyone was evacuated safely. A similar bomb was found on a Transmilenio bus in January. And in December, authorities announced they had learned of a FARC plan to bomb 80 buses.*** STATIONS SEARCHED Transportation officials stressed that all 61 Transmilenio stations were being searched and that bus service would not be suspended. City leaders urged commuters to continue using the shuttle system. [End]
