Chavez: Claims of ties between Venezuela, FARC rebels 'ridiculous'




Interpol recovered 43 computer files that detail close ties between Venezuela and Colombia's main guerrilla group, known as the FARC. The files came from computers seized during a raid on a rebel camp, and Interpol said Thursday that Colombia did not alter them.

 

Venezuela denies arming or funding the FARC, and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez called the Interpol report on the rebel ties 'ridiculous'. (AP)
