In Hugo Chavez's mind, everyone wants to kill him -- even, apparently, on Twitter. According to the AP, police in Venezuela have arrested a man on charges that he used the microblogging site to
incite an assassination attempt on President Chavez. Federal Police Chief Wilmer Flores Trossel says that the 27-year-old suspect is an engineer at Venezuela's state-run power company, National Electrical Corporation (Corpolec), and promises that he will be questioned by prosecutors. Flores didn't reveal many details of the evidence against the engineer, but the Latin American Herald Tribune reports that the police chief alleges the suspect posted photos of Chavez "
with wounds on his face and suggested how the assassination could be carried out." Doesn't exactly sound like irrefutable evidence to us, but, under Chavez's unique brand of criminal justice, it probably doesn't have to.
