VENEZUELA: Jailed Opposition Leader Charged With Conspiracy And Hiding Explosives.
AP/ Alejandro Pena Esclusa, the jailed leader of the Fuerza Solidaria group opposed to President Hugo Chavez, has been charged with hiding detonators and C-4 explosives in his apartment. He was first arrested on July 12. Pena has responded in writing that "the accusations against me are a farce. The authorities know that very well, because it was the government that orchestrated the case and ordered evidence 'planted' in my home."
