I hope Hugo Chavez is smelling sulfur now...

– Venezuela will set up a formal inquiry into suspicions that the late
President Hugo Chavez’s cancer was the result of poisoning by his
enemies abroad, the government said.
The accusation has been derided by critics of the government, who
view it as a typical Chavez-style conspiracy theory intended to feed
fears of “imperialist” threats to Venezuela’s socialist system and
distract people from daily problems.
Still, acting President Nicolas Maduro vowed to push through a
serious investigation into the claim, which was first raised by Chavez
himself after he was diagnosed with the disease in 2011.
“We will seek the truth,” Maduro told regional TV network Telesur
late on Monday. “We have the intuition that our commander Chavez was
poisoned by dark forces that wanted him out of the way.”
Foreign scientists will be invited to join a government commission, the OPEC nation’s acting leader said.
