Belarusian Security Council: Scandalous announcement of the Spanish newspaper is a pure fiction

The press centre of the State Secretariat of the Belarusian Security Council has claimed that the information published by a Spanish edition “El Pais” about the fact that Belarusian weapons could reach Columbian insurgents is pure fiction. 
The edition refers to its own sources in the Columbian government. It was said that a secret document had been found in the PC of one of the leaders of insurgents Raul Raers killed on March 1. This is a letter of one the leaders of insurgents Raul Raers informing that Hugo Chavez “has discussed the possibility of weapon supplies with the Belarusian authorities”.

It bears the date of February 2008. The letter also informs that “a delegation of high representatives” from “the Belarusian friend” will arrive in Caracas. According to “El Pais”, “the friend” may be Victar Sheiman, the state secretary of the Belarusian Security Council. He visited Venezuela in the middle of February.

The State Secretariat thinks that “no attention should be paid” to such articles. It was added that the President of Venezuela Higo Chavez had warned about the possibility of preparation of such “a pseudo discredit” by the USA.
