President Hugo Chavez Frias has aid that those responsible for the bombings at Colombian and Spanish diplomatic offices last week have been identified and it is only a matter of time before arrests are made ... "we have identified them, let them rear their heads and they'll see."

During his weekly Alo Presidente radio show the President said that he had the photos of those responsible, but they were on the run and being hunted by security forces.

The President also announced that a new anti-terrorism squad was being formed to help prevent any similar attacks in the future. 

Both sides of the political divide have blamed each others supporters for the attacks, but until the first arrests are made it is still unclear who was responsible for the attacks.  Colombian officials have carried out separate investigations into the attack on their mission, but the results have not yet been announced.
