CARACAS, Venezuela — President Hugo Chavez revealed for the first time on Sunday that some of his political allies have collaborated with Colombia’s guerrillas in the past but he said he warned them to stop because it could give Washington an excuse to attack Venezuela.
Chavez said he contacted radical government supporters who had met with the leftist rebels, presumably to tell them to stop collaborating with a group that Colombia and U.S. officials consider terrorist.
The Venezuelan president didn’t say exactly who was supporting the rebel groups.
