Venezuelan Prosecutor General Isaias Rodriguez, meanwhile, told the state news agency Venpres prosecutors were taking legal action against Colombian Defense Minister Jorge Alberto Uribe following statements acknowledging a payment for the rebel's capture.
He said prosecutors were taking action against a Colombian police officer who entered Venezuela to help coordinate the capture. Once the "penal responsibility" for those acts has been determined, Rodriguez said, "we are going to request from Colombia the extradition of high-ranking Colombian officials who are responsible for that crime."
