Officials say Anderson's killing was likely politically motivated. He was investigating some 400 opposition leaders and businessmen who supported a 2002 coup that briefly removed President Hugo Chavez from power.

STATE DEPARTMENT BRIEFING, November 24, 2004
MR. ERELI: One more?
QUESTION: Yes. It's about Venezuela. What do you think of the terrorist attack in Caracas that killed the prosecutor Danilo Anderson, who was investigating opposition members for the coup against Chavez in 2002? And the suspect of the attack was killed by the Venezuelan police yesterday. I don't know if you have something.
MR. ERELI: I hadn't seen that. We spoke to this matter last week. We condemned this. We condemn the killing of the prosecutor. We called it a terrorist act and we called for a swift and full investigation and said we viewed it as a terrible crime.

Was this a "terrorist act" or a "crime?"
