Venezuela’s President Chavez accuses CNN of inciting his assassination

President Hugo Chavez called for an investigation into CNN, saying the news network was seeking his assassination after its Spanish-language channel ran an image of the Venezuelan leader next to a caption that read, “Who killed him?”
CNN apologized Wednesday and blamed a technical mix-up, saying the caption referred to a story about Washington Redskins football star Sean Taylor, who was shot this week in his Florida home.
CNN en Espanol ran the caption for several seconds Tuesday night during a story on a spat between Chavez and Colombian President Alvaro Uribe.”*
