Venezuela Acquires Bio/Chem Weapons from Spain

Hat tip to Roth Report for this link to LGF about the acquisition of biological and chemical weapons from Spain. Unfortunately, Spain seems to have gone from a key supporter in the War on Terrorism under Aznar to a rather large obstacle under Zapatero. Venezuela's recent rhetoricand actions still have not garnered the attention they deserve, but let's hope this story starts to change that.
During the first semester of 2004 Spain sold chemical warfare agents and radioactive materials to Venezuela worth E539.603 according to a report entitled “Spanish exports of defence materials and related products and technologies."

Report’s statistics show that Venezuela was the only country under the category “countries to which chemical warfare agents and radioactive materials were sold”. Worth noting that the said category includes “biological and nerve agents destined to chemical warfare” of which Venezuela bought E30.374.
