CARACAS, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) — Venezuela’s government claimed Thursday it had uncovered a possible plot to kill President Hugo Chavez and was interrogating suspects.
In a live broadcast shown on television stations, Chavez played audio recordings he said were of retired military officers discussing plans to bomb the Miraflores Palace, headquarters of the national government, and kill the president.
On one tape, a voice ascribed to former Venezuelan Vice Adm. Carlos Millan talked about ways to attack the Miraflores Palace, TV stations, army facilities, the command of National Guard and some other military targets.
In addition to Millan, former army Gen. Wilfredo Barroso Herrera and former air force Gen. Eduardo Baez Torrealba were identified as co-conspirators.
Chavez accused the United States of sponsoring the plan and denied that the plot was part of an electoral strategy made by high-level officers from his own ruling party, the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV).
Revelations of the alleged assassination attempt prompted an immediate reaction from the National Assembly, which agreed to launch a parliamentary investigation into the case and to take it to the Parliament of the Common Market of the South (Parlasur) and the Inter-Parliamentary Union.
PSUV vice president Alberto Muller called on supporters of Chavez to launch street demonstrations throughout the country to protest against the alleged conspiracy.
