Chavez ally says coup plot discovered in Venezuela
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
A close ally of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said on Thursday that a plot to oust the leader has been discovered.
Chavez ally Mario Silva, who hosts a program on state television, played a recording late Wednesday of a purported phone conversation in which alleged conspirators discussed plans to overthrow Chavez.
Silva said Vice Admiral Carlos Millan was among them, along with two other ex-officers from the National Guard and the air force.
In the recording aired, a voice identified as an ex-officer said "we're going to take" the presidential palace.
