In an editorial, Friday, the newspaper noted that Swedish-produced anti-tank rockets were found in the hands of the FARC and that a Swedish investigation confirmed that they were originally sold to the Venezuelan army by the arms manufacturer Saab.

The editorial also quoted a report disclosed by the US Government Accountability Office, according to which Venezuela had created a "permissive environment" that had allowed the FARC to massively increase its cocaine smuggling across that border, AP reported.

The FARC are "a Colombian rebel movement known for terrorism and drug trafficking," and has been" officially designated a terrorist organization by the United States and the European Union," The Post noted.

Recent findings appear to be "extensive evidence of material support to terrorism," and the Department of State should "look again at whether Mr. Chavez' government or its top officials belong on its list of state sponsors of terrorism."
