According to a former Venezuelan Presidential pilot, Marquez funneled $1 million on behalf of Chavez to al Qaeda $100,000 to the Taliban and $900,000 to Osama bin Laden. While the funds were disguised as humanitarian aid, they were reportedly used for terrorist attacks against U.S. interests. JW is suing Chavez and Venezuela on behalf of a victim and survivor of the terrorist attacks against the World Trade Center.

"The communist Chavez is a supporter of terrorism and he deserves to be severely punished for the money he sent to al Qaeda after the September 11 attacks," said JW Chairman Larry Klayman. "Chavez and his henchmen have the blood of thousands of innocent people on their hands."

It is widely known that Chavez is a close ally and the protégé of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro who, according to JW investigations and the Bush Administration, has compiled weapons of mass destruction, including biological and chemical weapons. He also supports terror regimes and Iraq, Libya and Iran.
