Both Colombia and the United States have dismissed similar statements by Mr. Chavez.
Chavez made the accusation following U.S. intelligence sources claims that documents seized by Colombian forces during a raid on FARC, Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia rebels in Ecuador showed Venezuela had deeper ties with the rebels than previously thought.
Officials said files found on a FARC leader's computer indicated Venezuelan officials met with leaders of the FARC. Chavez claims they were fake.
