BREAKING NEWS: "Internal" coup d'etat under preparation in
Venezuela to remove President Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias from
office "within the next days"

Headline intelligence sources: Persistent 'chatter'
monitored by intelligence services claim that an "internal"
coup d'etat is under preparation in Venezuela seeking to
remove President Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias from office
"within the next days" or by the end of June at the very
latest.

Confidential and thoroughly credible sources say that what
is initially projected as a 'bloodless' coup may indeed turn
extremely nasty with US mercenaries infiltrated cross-border
from Colombia who are said to be aligned with traitors
inside Chavez Frias' own administration.

How, when and where the coup will take place remains a
closely guarded secret and sources within the loyal security
services in Venezuela are hoping that a greater public
awareness of the plot will help to defuse a situation where
the blue touch-paper has already been ignited aimed at the
physical removal of the President.

It is understood that in the event of a successful coup,
vice president Ramon Carrizales would immediately become the
titular head of government but it is not yet known who or
how many of the current government line-up would be axed or
otherwise eliminated.

Security tactitians say the coup is seen as "necessary" by
elements within the Chavez administration to defuse the
threat of military invasion of all or part of Venezuela by
United States forces in their relentless quest to secure oil
supplies to North America.

Venezuela's economic cabinet has been in a state of alert
over the last couple of weeks following credible claims that
separationists are prepared to surrender to the United
States allowing major US oil corporations access to
Venezuelan crude reserves in Lake Maracaibo and elsewhere in
western Venezuela.
