President Hugo Chavez Frias: Today's capture of Colombian paramilitaries is
a blow against opposition terrorism
VENPRES’ Carmen Ostia Pulgar reports: “The capture of 56 Colombian
paramilitaries in Sabaneta, Baruta (Miranda) is a very important blow
against terrorism, coups, and violence in the entire world,” said President

Just a few hours after this group of presumed imported Colombian terrorists
was apprehended, the Head of State questioned the silence of the private
media, and their twisting of the facts with respect to information released
about these events. According to Chavez, this is a part of the “blind
elite’s” strategy to implement their plans. He warned that despite the
attempts of the opposition to inundate Venezuela with violence, they will
not succeed.
The President’s message was transmitted in a simultaneous broadcast on all
radio and TV channels because none of the private channels (with the
exception of Globovision, which retransmitted VTV’s signal at certain
moments) transmitted what happened this morning.

For the last three months, the intelligence agencies conducted an
investigation which, this morning between 2:30 and 3:00 a.m., resulted in
the capture of an important Colombian paramilitary leader. The operation
continued, and “before the sun rose, our patriotic men and women had
captured 53 paramilitaries (now 56), all Colombians, dressed in Venezuelan
military uniforms, with military haircuts, white and tricolor armbands
(Venezuelan colors),” detailed President Chavez.
“The captured foreign terrorist agents were found in a building belonging
to Cuban Robert Alonso, known anti-Castro activist. We’re talking about the
Cuban counterrevolution passing through North (as in Miami), South, and
Central America.”

Alonso was nicknamed “The Corporal” and was one of the brains behind “Plan
Guarimba,” a violent far-right opposition strategy that was executed in
communities and arterial highways in East Caracas from February 27 (when
the G-15 Summit convened in the capital city) until March 3.
* “(Alonso) is closely associated with the so-called Democratic
Coordinator (CD), and he was recently on the Globovision program, Grade
33,” Chavez added.
According to security agency estimates, 130 Colombian paramilitaries
entered Venezuela clandestinely. The President said that he gave the order
to capture them by any means necessary in the shortest possible time.
Chavez recognized the work done by the State Security & Political (DISIP)
police, led by Corporal Miguel Rodriguez Torres; the Ministry of Interior &
Justice (MIJ) headed by Lucas Rincon Romero; the National Guard; the
Military Intelligence Directorate (DIM); the Ministry of Defense; and the
Scientific, Penal & Criminal Investigations Corps (CICPC).

En Espanol:
Presidente Hugo Chavez Frias: Captura de paramilitares es un golpe al
terrorismo
Venpres (Carmen Ostia Pulgar): La captura de 56 paramilitares colombianos,
en Sabaneta, municipio Baruta, del estado Miranda, es un golpe muy
importante contra el terrorismo, el golpismo y la violencia en el mundo
entero, consideró el primer mandatario del país, Hugo Chávez Frías, en su
programa N° 191 de "Aló Presidente".
b8528.jpg
A pocas horas de la aprehensión de ese grupo de presuntos terroristas
importados de la vecina nación suramericana, comenzó la jornada audiovisual
de cada semana, y el jefe de Estado no dudó, una vez más, en cuestionar el
silencio mediático e incluso las tergiversación en torno a las
informaciones referidas a ese evento, lo cual forma parte de la estrategia
que implementa "esa élite enceguecida", para imponer sus oscuros planes.
Advirtió, que no obstante ese empeño de la oposición golpista de inundar al
país de violencia, no lo van a lograr.
El mensaje del Presidente se transmitió en cadena nacional de radio y
televisión, esto porque ninguno de los canales privados (excepto
Globovisión, que retransmitió la señal de VTV en algunos momentos)
transmitió lo ocurrido.
b8547.jpg
Desde hace tres meses, aproximadamente, se realizaba el trabajo de
inteligencia, que esta madrugada, entre las 2:30 a las 3:00 de la
madrugada, coronó con la captura de un importante jefe paramilitar
colombiano, operativo que prosiguió, y "ya antes de que el sol saliera,
nuestros hombres y mujeres patriotas, habían capturado 53 paramilitares
(ahora suman 56), todos colombianos, vestidos con uniformes militares
venezolanos, corte militar, brazaletes blancos y tricolores (del pabellón
patrio)", dio detalles el presidente Chávez.
"Los agentes foráneos terroristas detenidos estaban instalados en un
inmueble propiedad del cubano Robert Alonso, conocido antifidelista. Se
trata de la contrarrevolución cubana que se mueve por Centroamérica,
Norteamérica (como en Miami) y Suramérica".
b8557.jpg
De Alonso precisó, que lo apodan "El Coronel" y fue uno de los ideólogos
del plan Guarimba, estrategia foquista que ejecutaron los sectores
ultraderechistas de la oposición, en comunidades y arterias viales del este
de Caracas, desde el viernes 27 de febrero (cuando se instala en la ciudad
capital la Cumbre del Grupo de los 15) hasta el miércoles 3 de marzo.
* "Está vinculado estrechamente con la llamada Coordinadora Democrática
y hace muy poco estuvo en el programa Grado 33, de Globovisión", añadió.
De acuerdo a las estimaciones de los organismos de seguridad, prosiguió
Chávez, alcanzan 130 los paramilitares, quienes llegaron a Venezuela
clandestinamente. El Presidente advirtió que dio la orden de capturarlos a
como dé lugar a la brevedad posible.
Reconoció el trabajo de la Dirección Servicios de Inteligencia y Prevención
(Disip), bajo la responsabilidad del coronel Miguel Rodríguez Torres; el
Ministerio del Interior y Justicia, encabezado por Lucas Rincón Romero;
Guardia Nacional; Dirección de Inteligencia Militar (DIM), del Ministerio
de la Defensa, y del Cuerpo de Investigaciones Científicas, Penales y
Criminalísticas (Cicpc).
