activity as strategy to conceal soaring US
access to Colombian military bases.
Ricardo Sanguino, head of the National
Assembly Finances Commission, told La Nacion
daily, of recent threats in San Antonio, in
Bolivar Municipality, at the border state of
Tachira.

Colombian paramilitaries distributing
leaflets with death threats to those opening
their businesses or sending their children
to school.

government of Venezuela and veil the
presence of fresh US intelligence in
Colombia.

Alvaro Uribe's subordination to the US
Central Intelligence Agency and promised
strong response.
