Opposition Alianza Bravo Pueblo (ABP) political party leader and former Libertador Mayor Antonio Ledezma has called on President Hugo Chavez Frias to cut out the mystery and publish the names of the persons or groups allegedly behind the bombs that exploded outside the Colombian consulate and Spanish Embassy last week in Caracas.

“If the President knows who placed the bombs, he should present the evidence and reveal their identities … otherwise, the matter will be shelved as other cases.”

Ledezma recalls the discovery of an alleged sniper in Ciudad Bolivar hired to assassinate the President or the group that allegedly had allegedly planned to launch a rocket attack on the Presidential airplane, as it was approaching Simon Bolivar international airport at Maiquetia.

“Those cases were not followed up and we suspect that those who planted the bombs were the same people who have attacked media HQs and that this case will be shelved as well."
