Fransman en Dominicanen in complot tegen Chavez

[ministe van agitatie]

In Venezuela werd de Fransman Laurent Bocquet gearresteerd, samen met drie mannen uit de Dominicaanse Republiek. Bij huiszoekingen werd een waar wapenarsenaal aangetroffen met ondermeer een halve kilo C4, machinegeweren 3 FAL-geweren, telescopische zoekers, kogelwerende vesten, valse nummerplaten, militaire uniformen, enz.

De mannen zouden van plan geweest zijn om aanslagen te plegen op Chavez en leden van zijn regering. De Fransman heeft naar verluidt in Europa militaire ervaring opgedaan (ex-Joegoslavië?).

Opvallend is natuurlijk de paralel met het complot dat in Bolivia werd ontmaskerd waarbij Kroaten/Hongaren/Ieren betrokken waren die in ex-Joegoslavië gevochten hadden, nazi-sympathie koesterden en waarvan de Guardian over de leider, Rozsa Flores, schreef:

He was part of the notorious "Zenga" unit of the Croatian militia, which is blamed for ethnic cleansing in former Yugoslavia in 1991. Since then, he had continued to recruit and organise right-wing extremists. His antisemitism is believed to have led him to convert to Islam, despite being homosexual.

De NYTimes schreef over de man:

He left Bolivia as a teenager, going with his parents into exile in Chile before moving to Hungary, the birthplace of his father, an emigrant of Jewish origin. In Budapest, Mr. Rozsa Flores said he came into contact with Ilich Ram�*rez Sánchez, the Venezuelan terrorist known as Carlos the Jackal, while studying linguistics and literature, according to published interviews.

Finding work as a correspondent for a Spanish newspaper covering the breakup of Yugoslavia, Mr. Rozsa Flores abandoned journalistic objectivity and took sides. He commanded volunteers fighting for Croatia in the early 1990s, but his battlefield experience was marred by claims that he oversaw the murder of a Briton and a Swiss citizen.

“He lived an overcrowded life, full of events, locations, people, gossip, good and bad legends,” said Ibolya Fekete, a Hungarian director who made a 2001 film, “Chico,” based on Mr. Rozsa Flores’s life. “He never fit in anywhere.”

Returning to Hungary after the war, Mr. Rozsa Flores converted to Islam, a shift from his earlier association with Opus Dei, the conservative Roman Catholic group. And he found a new political obsession, explaining in a television interview last year with a Hungarian journalist that he was moving to Bolivia to organize a militia.

“There is a need for weapons,” he said in the interview, which was broadcast for the first time in Hungary last week after his killing, “so it isn’t about the boys marching in the streets with flags and bamboo sticks.”

Mr. Rozsa Flores went further in the interview, saying his goal was not toppling Mr. Morales, but achieving autonomy for Santa Cruz, Bolivia’s wealthiest department, or province. Envisioning a clash with La Paz over this issue, he nonchalantly described his goal as “declaring independence and creating a new country.”

Interessant aan de gearresteerde Fransman, is zijn facebookpagina. Daar zie je dat hij bevriend is met ondermeer Frank Chavez. Op diens facebookpagina zie je dat hij fan is van Netanyanu, de Tsahal, en Rabbi's van de Shas-partij.

Een interessante bende altegader in zowel Bolivië als Venezuela...
