--- Begin Message --- -Caveat Lector- Venezuela energy post goes to
brother of "Carlos the Jackal"
CARACAS, Venezuela, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Venezuela has appointed the brother of leftist revolutionary Carlos the Jackal, who led a hostage-taking attack against an OPEC meeting in 1975, to a senior post in the South American OPEC nation's energy ministry, a ministry spokeswoman said Friday.
Electrical engineer Lenin Ramirez Sanchez was made the ministry's new Director of Energy, a spokeswoman for the ministry told Reuters.
Ramirez's brother Illich Ramirez Sanchez, nicknamed Carlos the Jackal, gained notoriety in 1975 when he led a hostage-taking attack against an OPEC meeting. He and five co-conspirators took about 70 people hostage, including 11 oil ministers, during the meeting in Vienna.
Venezuelan-born Carlos, considered by many to be the archetypal international terrorist, is currently serving a life sentence in France for the murder of two French secret agents and is suspected of taking part in 80 killings in support of the Palestinian cause.
Foreign diplomats played down the significance of the appointment and said Ramirez should not be judged by the actions of his brother.
"You can't really judge someone by their family," one diplomat said.
The attitude shown by Venezuela's left-wing President Hugo Chavez towards Carlos has stirred controversy.
During a visit to Paris in October, Chavez set off a verbal firestorm when he said his government had an obligation to guarantee respect for the revolutionary's human rights.
Chavez had previously raised eyebrows by sending a letter to Carlos calling him "dear compatriot."
The Venezuelan leader also irritated Washington by criticizing the U.S. anti-terrorism war in Afghanistan following the Sept. 11 suicide attacks that killed more than 3,000 people in New York and Washington.
