Crossword puzzle writer questioned in plot against Hugo
Honest, we don't make this stuff up...
Venezuelan intelligence agents have questioned a crossword compiler on suspicion of inciting the murder of Mr Chavez's brother, Adan.

Neptali Segovia was accused of hiding a coded assassination message in the Ultimas Noticias newspaper. Answers to some of the clues in his crosswords included the words "kill", "gunfire" and "Adan", it is alleged.

Mr Segovia denied the accusations, saying he had volunteered to be questioned to clarify the issue.

The accusation against him was made earlier this week by TV pundit Miguel Angel Perez Pirela, who presents a programme on state channel VTV.
And thus is a Hugo buddy and supporter...
He said a team of psychologists and mathematicians had concluded that the Spanish-language crossword contained a coded assassination plot against Adan.

"These sorts of messages were used a lot during World War II," he said, comparing it to secret codes used by the French Resistance.
I say we start checking the New York Times puzzles for secret messages...
