CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - The U.S. State Department warned Friday of a potential threat to American interests in Caracas, urging U.S. citizens here to take precautions.

``The U.S. Embassy has received information of a possible threat against U.S. interests in Caracas sometime between Sunday, January 18, and Tuesday morning,'' said the advisory on a U.S. State Department Web site. ``U.S. citizens are advised to maintain security awareness.''

The embassy warning also said that ``the risk of encountering explosive devices in Venezuela, particularly in Caracas, appears to be on the increase. These appear to be related with recent political unrest.''

Officials at the U.S. Embassy could not immediately be reached for comment.

Chávez overthrew two extremely corrupt political juggernauts to become the Prez. He likes the poor! He has lots of oil. Let's get him! (logic for Bush wackos)
