AFP. 18 April 2002. US military attache was with Venezuela coup planners beforehand. CARACAS -- The US military attache in Caracas was with the planners of last week's aborted coup against Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez in the hours before Chavez was overthrown, a source in the president's office told AFP Thursday. "The US military attache was at the armed forces inspector general's office at Fort Tiuna," Caracas's main military base, "during the preparation for and up until the coup" overnight April 11 to 12, the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The attache, whose name was not released, stayed there from 6:30 pm (2230 GMT) Thursday until the coup began at 3:22 am (0722 GMT) Friday. "What was a military official doing at this place at this time, with the insurgents?" the source asked. A retired general confirmed the report on condition of anonymity, saying that "a number of reliable eyewitnesses on the scene" had assured him of its veracity. The US Embassy in Caracas had no immediate reaction to the allegations. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
