Chavez Vows to Find Prosecutor's Killers
President Hugo Chavez vowed to track down the killers of a state attorney whose death in a car bomb has shaken the oil-rich South American nation and renewed the specter of violence. However he appeared to back away from a claim by his spokesman that "terrorists" training in Florida were responsible for the assassination of Danilo Anderson. Anderson, known to many Venezuelans as the "super prosecutor," was preparing a case against nearly 400 people who backed Venezuela's 2002 coup. He was killed when two explosions ripped through his SUV as he drove through the capital around midnight Thursday. "The attack against Danilo Anderson is an attack against all of us," Chavez said in a televised address to the nation late Friday, adding that it was also an attack on Venezuelans' dreams for democracy.
