Las Ultimas Noticias reports that files on three former State Political & Security (DISIP) Police agents stored at the State Identification & Passport Office (Oni-Dex) have mysteriously disappeared.

• According to the tabloid, the three men are top suspects of carrying out the bomb attacks on the Spanish Embassy and Colombian consulate.

Two other former senior DISIP chiefs, who were dismissed for taking part in the April 11 coup attempt against President Hugo Chavez Frias’ government and supporting Dictator-for-a Day Pedro Carmona Estanga, are also said to be under government investigation for the latest destabilization efforts to oust the administration.
