(Dirty Tricks?) Venezuela Judge Orders Anti-Chavez Officers' Arrest***CARACAS, Venezuela (Reuters) - A Venezuelan judge on Tuesday ordered the arrests of three dissident National Guard officers in connection with bomb attacks on Spanish and Colombian diplomatic offices in Caracas in February.

State prosecutor Danilo Anderson said the judge gave the order after authorities produced evidence implicating Gen. Felipe Rodriguez and Lts. German Varela and Jose Colina in the Feb. 25 blasts that badly damaged a technical office of the Spanish mission and Colombia's consulate. Five people, including a 4-year-old girl, were injured in the blasts.

"We are trying to locate these individuals," Anderson told reporters. The three were believed to be in hiding.

Opponents of leftist President Hugo Chavez say the accusations against the three officers are part of a government campaign to discredit the opposition before a Nov. 28-Dec. 1 drive to collect signatures for a referendum to try to vote Chavez out of office. ***

Letter from Chavez to "The Jackal"***I feel that the energy in my soul rises, broadens, and becomes equal to the size of the dangers. My doctor has told me that my soul needs to feed on danger in order to preserve my sanity, in that when God made me he allowed this stormy revolution, so that I could live engaged in my own special destiny.***
