Colombian President Alvaro Uribe suggested on Friday that the accusation made by a Spanish judge related to the alleged cooperation of Venezuelan officials with an alliance between Basque separatist group ETA and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) to assassinate in Spain top Colombian officials should not be transferred to the Venezuelan government.

"Charges against (Venezuelan) officials can not be transferred either to the brotherly people of Venezuela or to the Venezuelan government," Uribe said in an interview with the Colombian radio station W Radio, Efe quoted.

The Colombian President appealed to the brotherhood between Colombia and Venezuela.

He said, however: "All the governments have to fight against terrorism, against crime. You can not prevent an investigation into government officials who could be involved in those activities."
