Venezuela confirms Colombian 'spies' detention http://colombiareports.com/colombia-news/news/9002-venezuela-confirms-colombian-spies-detention.html

Venezuelan Justice Minister Tareck El Aissami confirmed Tuesday that the socialist nation had detained eight Colombian nationals, while accusations that they were engaged in espionage are investigated."There are currently eight Colombians arrested for allegedly committing the crime of espionage," El Aissami said, adding that Venezuela officials had seized photos found on a camera of Venezuelan military telecommunications towers, roads, bridges and highways.

"Commander [Venezulean] President Hugo Chavez has denounced these [photos] as sabotage, and now there is evidence to say that in effect there was an act of sabotage," El Aissami said.

The Justice minister said that the investigation was in its preliminary stages, that a military prosecutor from the state of Aragua had been put in charge of the Colombians' case, and that investigations "point towards espionage".Bogota publication El Tiempo reported that eight Colombians are family members who own an ice cream factory in the Venezuelan state of Barinas.A Venezuelan army search of the business' premises turned up Colombian military identity cards belonging to two of those arrested.
