Venezuelan intelligence agents had earlier warned the President that cronies of ousted Dictator Pérez Jiménez had hired four ex-Nazi military engineers in Spain to do the job. Last week, after the blast, Betancourt also implicated an old enemy: Dominican Republic Dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo. The bombing was no amateur blast.
