MADRID — A Spanish judge accused Venezuela on Monday of collaborating with Basque separatist militants and Colombian rebels, and said the two groups plotted to assassinate Colombia’s president while he visited Spain.

Judge Eloy Velasco made the allegation in a 26-page indictment in which he charged six members of the Basque group ETA, most of them exiled in Latin America, and seven members of the Colombian leftist rebel group FARC with a variety of crimes including terrorism and conspiracy to commit murder.

In a statement released on Monday, Venezuela’s foreign ministry rejected the claims, calling them “unacceptable.”
