Chavez says US 'weapon' caused Haiti quake

Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez has accused the United States of causing the destruction in Haiti by testing a 'tectonic weapon' to induce the catastrophic earthquake.

President Chavez said the US was "playing God" by testing devices capable of creating eco-type catastrophes, the Spanish newspaper ABC quoted him as saying.

President Chavez is also on record claiming that the 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Centre and the Apollo moon landings were faked.

All of this so-called evidence, too, was a mere product of imperialist television. After all, "there is film of the Americans landing on the moon", he scoffed. "Does that mean the moon shot really happened? In the film, the Yankee flag is flying straight out. So, is there wind on the moon?"
