Spanish embasy & Colombian consulate bombed

In Caracas, Venezuela, about 2am today. At least 5 injured but no dead. Leaflets scattered at both sites referred to the "Bolivarian Liberation Front," a previously unheard of group.

So far, NFI

The FARC and other rebels  are operating with impunity from inside venezuela. They are being trained and equipped by Chavez.

Exactly. That is part of Chavez's mini-Castro revolution.
He wants to block his border so that the insertions and
insurrection traffic only goes one way--into Colombia.
This is the untold story of the U.S.'s sudden interest in
Colombia. There is no way the U.S. will allow Chavez to
destabilize the entire region. And this time it will not
be done indirectly, i.e the Contras. Chavez will find the
foot prints of U.S. hit teams in his country, and a diplo-
matic campaign to isolate him in the hemisphere.
