CARACAS, Wednesday November 30, 2005 | Update
Is it possible to find intact traces of explosive C-4 in
the seat of the car where the body of public prosecutor Danilo
Anderson was imbedded?
The doubt emerged in the seventh session of the trial against
alleged perpetrators of the murder, Juan Bautista, Otoniel
and Rolando Guevara, following the explanation provided by
Adolorata Casimirre, a member of the Physical-Chemical Laboratory,
Scientific, Penal and Criminology Investigation Agency (Cicpc.)
Cassimire reported that the Technical Inspection Division
asked her in a memorandum dated November 22nd, 2004, to look
for any explosives in the materials tested.
In reply to a question made by defense attorney Pedro Miguel
Castillo, the expert answered that the materials analyzed
had not been ignited. Had they been burnt, as most of Anderson's
car, identification had been difficult.
Prosecutor Gilberto Landaeta reasserted that the finding
was made in Anderson's van, and he was personally present.
Prosecutor Yoraco Bauza, however, was not very sure.
10:07 AM. DIPLOMACY. Admired by the Colombian guerrilla after his coup attempt in 1992, the then lieutenant colonel Hugo Chávez Frías received financial support by the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC) for his projects after his capture that year. This mostly explains the relationship and "debt" between the parties, as revealed by a paper of the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) of the United Kingdom.
