anyways, this is a HUGE story that will go unnoticed filed under the -outofsightoutofmind- drawer, but:
Caracus -- Venezuela suggested Friday that exiles living in Florida may have masterminded the assassination of a prosecutor investigating a short-lived coup against leftist President Hugo Chavez and demanded that Washington explain why the United States harbors the alleged extremists.
The comments by ranking government officials threatened to disrupt a recent, uneasy peace between Chavez and Washington, which had initially hailed Chavez's brief overthrow. Venezuela, which sits on the largest oil reserves outside the Middle East, supplies one-sixth of the oil imported by the United States.
now for a little background on the who/what/where/when/why on our policy towards latin america as it relates to above.
