Venezuela to Honduras Drug Connection

From El Informador: (Guadalajara, Mexico) Here's evidence of Venezuela being involved, to some unknown degree, with drug trafficking.

The Honduran police reported today that a small plane with Venezuelan markings had been found in the department [state ] of Olancho, burned by presumed narcotraffickers. The plane landed early this morning near the town of San Francisco de Becerra.

Authorities said the plane could transport “no more than” 500 kilos of cargo. Local witnesses said the pilots unloaded the unknown cargo and loaded it into several waiting vehicles.

So far this year, more drugs have been seized in Honduras than last, although no figures were given. In the past six months, some seven Venezuelan airplanes have landed in Honduras and at least four have been apparently deliberately set on fire.

It's quite telling when the traffickers intentionally sacrifice an airplane with each drug shipment. Also, either Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is complicit in the drug trafficking or someone is trying to set him up. I don't believe that Venezuelan-flagged airplanes could operate and disappear regularly without his knowledge.
