Colombian President Ă?lvaro Uribe Thursday said he was ordering an investigation into the reported links between Giancarlo Di Martino, Mayor of Maracaibo, Venezuelan northwestern Zulia state, and Colombian guerrilla groups, following publication of a video footage showing the Venezuelan official delivering supplies to allegedly guerrilla troops on the Colombia-Venezuela border.
Should these relations be confirmed, "it would be very serious, and I am speaking to the Defense Ministry and judges" to delve into this issue, Uribe told reporters on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, AFP reported.
The video footage, disclosed by Venezuelan regional TV station ZuvisiĂłn and posted on youtube.com, shows a man identified as Maracaibo Mayor Gian Carlo Di Martino delivering food supplies and other equipment to troops of the rebel Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC) and the National Liberation Army (ELN).
On Tuesday, when asked about the recording, Venezuelan Executive Vice-President Ramón Carrizález said he had no information on the issue.

vladimiro says on Jan 26, 2008, 16:38: The timing of the video is very suspicious. I don't think its known still whether the video is a montage, but a couple weeks ago the Americans also doctored a video of Iranian speed boats threatening US warships in the strait of hormuz.
