Venezuela Assembly on Possible Colombia Attack

CARACAS  -The Foreign Policy Commission of the Venezuelan Assembly will be analyzing, on Wednesday, a possible aggression by the Colombian government, informed Roy Daza, president of that parliamentary instance.

Daza said on Monday they will refer to the possible "false positive" that the Uribe administration could prepare to justify a conflict with the country.

According to the Assembly's website, the deputy pointed out the Commission will mull over such probable situation, and draw up a document to present it before Parliament's plenary meeting and thus agree on a related stance.

Meanwhile, Venezuelan Vice President Ramon Carrizalez stated yesterday that if Venezuela is attacked, the government will react strongly.

"We are preparing to defend our territory not to attack, but no country ever dare think it can hit us with impunity," affirmed Carrizalez during an act at La Guaira port.

The also defense minister recalled that on December 28, President Hugo Chavez denounced the possibility of the Uribe government carrying out a "false positive" to justify an aggression.

The so called false positive, known as "simulation of punishable events" in the Venezuelan legislation, is a generalized practice by the Colombian government and Armed Forces to justify anything, he sustained.
