Venezuela opposition party leader assassinated
 

Not often this shit happens... Wife and kids were behind him in another car and saw it happen...

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) ? A gunman riding on the back of a motorcycle has killed a Venezuelan opposition leader in the home state of the late President Hugo Chavez.

A colleague says Pablo Uzcategui was shot twice Monday night as he drove through the Barinas state capital with his son.

National Assembly lawmaker Carlos Berrizbeitia says the killing of Uzcategui was not a robbery. He says Uzcategui's wife was driving behind her husband with the couple's two daughters and witnessed the killing.

That's bad timing - GWB is in hospital...

I can care less about what happens in Venezuela, but I find political assassinations like this amazing.

deym this is tragic

For news about Venezuela I often contact my friend that went to live there few years ago. But friend is unavailable, phone line is dead, and he is not answering for several weeks. Last thing I know was that he was learning to be a pilot.So this killed guy was in oposition but as far I know, that was some small local party? Those motorcycle killings are hapening there often.
