Venezuelan Authorities Seize Arms From Participant in Coup Attempt ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Xinhuanet 2002-04-26 09:41:17 CARACAS, April 25 (Xinhuanet) -- Venezuelan military agents seized on Thursday arms hidden at the residence of one of the main participants in the coup attempt against President Hugo Chavez. In an operation that extended from Wednesday night to early Thursday morning, the agents swooped the residence of Isaak Perez,the sales representative of an Israeli arms firm Perez who fled toAruba aboard a helicopter when the coup d'etat failed, said the military intelligence agency. During the raid, which was ordered by military judge Damian Nieto, the agents seized weapons including automatic arms, ammunition, night-vision gear and machetes, and military fatigues and hoods. The arms were supposed to be handed over to Rear Admiral CarlosMolina, who was involved in the coup, according to the authorities. Chavez, who was temporarily ousted on April 12 in an ephemeral coup headed by businessmen and the military, returned to presidency two days later with the support of loyal troops and civilians that took to the streets.
