Opposition candidate says Chavez might have him killed

After being attacked by the regime's Bolivarian Circle mobs while campaigning in a poor area of Caracas, opposition presidential candidate Manuel Rosales said September 14 that Chavez might have him killed.

"I want to tell Venezuela that if something happens to me, if I am killed during any of those ambushes that are being laid, this was ordered by Chavez."

The threat could be very real: Rosales is reportedly tied with Chavez in the polls, according to El Universal.
