US concerned by Venezuela-FARC ties: Ambassador

Incoming U.S. Ambassador to Colombia Michael McKinley said Thursday that Washington “is concerned about the relation between members of the Venezuelan government and the FARC,” in a written response to a question on the issue from U.S. Senator Richard Lugar.

McKinley said that the U.S. suspected two officials and a former official in Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez’s government of “materially supporting FARC drug trafficking activities.”
