Chavez to suspend oil exports to US in case of assassination attempt

CARACAS (AFP) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez threatened to suspend
oil exports to the United States if someone tries to assassinate him,
adding that US President George W. Bush would be to blame.

"If they kill me, there will be a really guilty party on this planet
whose name is the president of the United States, George Bush," Chavez
said on his weekly radio program, "Hello, Mr. President."

"If, by the hand of the devil, those perverse plans succeed ... forget
about Venezuelan oil, Mr. Bush," he said.

Chavez said he was convinced that Washington was "sketching out the
assassination plans" before his Bolivarian Revolution advances in
Venezuela and Latin America.

Chavez revealed a week ago that Cuban President Fidel Castro had warned
him of a US assassination plot.

"If something happens to me, I blame the president of the United

1. Nice -- Thinking a Move Ahead

Now he's on the record, so it won't come as a surprise. And it should make the administration think twice about actually funding an assasssination. They know Chavez or his replacement will carry out this threat.
