Pumpkins carrying messages against President Hugo Chávez were found Monday at several locations in the capital city of Caracas.

The pumpkins were fitted with wires to simulate an explosive device, but included pieces of paper clarifying that the objects were not bombs but warnings, local TV network Globovisión reported.

Some of the pumpkins included photographs of President Hugo Chávez, Attorney General Isaías Rodríguez, and former Communication and Information Minister Andrés Izarra.

The messages called upon Venezuelans to act in accordance with article 350, Venezuelan Constitution, to disobey Chávez' government.
