Alleged guerrilla deployment on the probe

"We have reached all the sites where the Colombian government, the Colombian army, supplied information on coordinates where, according to them, there could be camps belonging to guerrillas or outlaws."

Venezuela's President Hugo Chávez gave the news on Tuesday; he also pledged that the Venezuelan army is working on it.

The Head of State did not mention the findings; he just said that steps are taken to prevent armed groups from operating in Venezuela.

"I have the report... I have seen even the photos," Chávez claimed, as quoted by AP.

For his part, Defense Minister Henry Rangel Silva promised that "the appropriate action is taken so that no armed force of whatever nature, except for our Bolivarian Armed Forces, is present in Venezuelan territory."

One week ago, the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC) killed 12 Colombian troops near the Colombia-Venezuela border.

Colombian authorities claimed that shortly after the raid, the rebels fled the country and crossed the border.
