A bomb exploded on Sunday in Maracaibo…..very similar to the ones that damaged the Colombian and Spanish Embassies…..Chavez continued to blame the opposition for the bomb….despite the fact that 1,000 kilos of explosives were found in the border with Colombia…..they were carried by the FARC, closer to Chavez than the opposition….no arrests over the weekend…..maybe it was a time of disguises…no negotiations either as Gaviria and Government traded sharp words….
