BREAKING NEWS: "Internal" coup d'etat under preparation in Venezuela to remove
President Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias from office "within the next days"
VHeadline intelligence sources: Persistent 'chatter' monitored by
intelligence services claim that an "internal" coup d'etat is under preparation
in Venezuela seeking to remove President Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias from office
"within the next days" or by the end of June at the very latest.

Confidential and thoroughly credible sources say that what is initially
projected as a 'bloodless' coup may inded turn extremely nasty with US
mercenaries infiltrated cross-border from Colombia who are said to be aligned
with traitors inside Chavez Frias' own administration.

How, when and where the coup will take place remains a closely guarded secret
and sources within the loyal security services in Venezuela are hoping that a
greater public awareness of the plot will help to defuse a situation where the
blue touch-paper has already been ignited aimed at the physical removal of the
President.

It is understood that in the event of a successful coup, vice president Ramon
Carrizales would immediately become the titular head of government but it is not
yet known who or how many of the current government line-up would be axed or
otherwise eliminated.

Security tactitians say the coup is seen as "necessary" by elements within the
Chavez administration to defuse the threat of military invasion of all or part
of Venezuela by United States forces in their relentless quest to secure oil
supplies to North America.

Venezuela's economic cabinet has been in a state of alert over the last couple
of weeks following credible claims that separationists are prepared to surrender
to the United States allowing major US oil corporations access to Venezuelan
crude reserves in Lake Maracaibo and elsewhere in western Venezuela.
