CARACAS: Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said in a television interview broadcast that he has proof of US contacts with military officers who launched a coup last month, but it is not clear what was said in those contacts.

"I have proofs and I have them in writing. I have the hour they entered and the hour in which two military officers of the United States left the seat of the coup participants," Chavez told the BBC yesterday, referring to military attaches assigned to the US embassy here.

He did not identify the officers, but said he knew who they were and whom they spoke with, while admitting it was unclear whether they aided the coup or opposed it.
