Pro-Chavez Prosecutor Assassinated in Venezuela

HeadlineNov 22, 2004

In Venezuela, a state prosecutor named Danilo Anderson was assassinated Thursday shortly before he was scheduled to bring charges against 400 people who attempted to overthrow President Hugo Chavez two years ago. The Chavez government has said the car bombing of Anderson was likely carried out by Venezuelan exiles living in Florida. The exiles have openly discussed their intent to overthrow Chavez’s government. Last month, Orlando Urdaneta went on a Miami tv station to say he wanted to see Chavez killed by “Men with rifles and telescopic sights who do not miss.” Meanwhile Hugo Chavez has arrived here in Spain for an official two day visit.
