<a href=www.vheadline.com>Venezuela's Electronic News Posted: Thursday, April 17, 2003 By: Patrick J. O'Donoghue

A bomb exploded destroying part of the Tachira State Ranchers Association (Asogata) HQ in San Cristobal. No one was hurt in the blast since it took place before 1.00 a.m. and according to police sources, there were no witnesses and little damage done. 

Asogata president, Genaro Mendez blames left-wing elements ... "they left pamphlets and fliers with slogans, such as 'Land for everyone' and 'The Revolution is the only way to success!'" 

Tachira State Governor Captain (ret.) Ronald Blanco La Cruz has condemned the attack warning that it's the wrong way to do politics.

Comparing the Asogata bomb to the more powerful semtex C4 that ripped the entrance of the Caracas Teleport building, Blanco La Cruz says an negotiated agreement has been signed with the government and if people don't like it, there are other means to express their disapproval.
