Prosecutor in Chavez coup inquiry is murdered
Stephen Ixer in Caracas

A leading Venezuelan prosecutor investigating the 2002 coup attempt against President Hugo Chavez has been killed in a car bomb attack in Caracas, raising fears of renewed unrest in the country.
Danilo Anderson, 38, was driving to his home in the capital on Thursday night when his Jeep exploded. The bomb was activated by remote control and designed to explode upwards, said officials.
“This was a political assassination,” said the information minister, Andres Izarra.
Mr Anderson was highly prominent in Venezuela for leading several cases against opponents of Mr Chavez, including an investigation into nearly 400 activists who supported the military coup attempt against him. The president, himself a former coup leader, was ousted for two days in 2002 before loyalist troops returned him to power.
Mr Anderson had also prepared the case against a group of army officers who declared themselves in open rebellion against Mr Chavez. Some of these, now living in exile in America, have been accused of links to last year’s bombings at the Spanish and Colombian embassies in Caracas.
Mr Izarra suggested that the same men might be responsible for Mr Anderson’s death. “The US government must explain how these terrorist groups can be operating in Florida - US territory,” he said yesterday. The US government condemned the bombing and dismissed any links to those involved in the Caracas attack.
The assassination follows regional poll successes last month for Mr Chavez, who also won a referendum on his position in power in August.

“The fight continues. I call on Venezuelans to unite and remain calm,” he said, after paying his respects at the office of the public prosecutor, where Mr Anderson’s body was laid out in a coffin.
