Venezuelan Oil Pipeline Attacked By Neo-Con Terrorists?

Wayne Madsen | December 5 2005

Venezuelan oil pipeline suspiciously sabotaged shortly before election boycotted by U.S.-backed opposition.

In what clearly has the marks of a U.S. neocon destabilization campaign, a pipeline to Venezuela's Amuay-Cardon oil refinery was blown up by terrorists on December 3, on the eve of Sunday elections that returned President Hugo Chavez's Fifth Republic Movement to the National Assembly with well over a two-thirds majority, a majority that will enable the constitution to be changed to allow Chavez to run for a third term in 2012.

Chavez will run for re-election to a second six year term next year.

Working with local right-wing groups, the Bush administration supported a right-wing boycott of the legislative elections. Vice President Jose Vicente Rangel and Energy Minister Rafael Ramirez confirmed the explosion was sabotage. In October, another pipeline was sabotaged in Zulia state.
