CIA 'plot to kill Hugo Chavez' - Telegraph

CIA 'plot to kill Hugo Chavez' - Telegraph: "The Venezuelan president said on state television that he had eluded an assassination attempt in El Salvador where he was due to attend the swearing in of its new leader, a Left-wing ally.

'I am not accusing Obama. I think the American president has good intentions,' Mr Chavez said. 'But over and above Obama, there is the CIA, and all of its tentacles. I have no doubt US intelligence services are behind this.'"
