Hugo Chavez

Now the US is looking for another world crisis, this time with the Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, this will no doubt agravate the crude price .. U.S. intelligence agencies are investigating a potential link between Venezuela and a terrorist group, according to a White House spokesman, who declined to say whether the
U.S. will add the nation to a list of those sponsoring terrorism. The South American country was the fourth-largest oil supplier to the U.S. in 2007, according to the Energy Department.
We don't discuss the process by which states are added to the list of state sponsors of terror,'' White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe said today in an e-mail.
U.S. authorities are looking into material seized by Colombian officials this month that Florida Republican Representative Connie Mack says may be evidence that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez aids the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, designated by the U.S. and Europe as a terrorist organization.
