| Venezuela returns Colombia envoy |
|
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez says he is sending his ambassador back to Colombia following a diplomatic row.
Mr Chavez recalled Ambassador Gustavo Marquez last week after Colombia said rocket launchers found in a rebel camp came from Venezuela.

"Go back to Bogota, Gustavo. Go to work, and you have a lot of it," President Chavez told Mr Marquez during a televised meeting at the presidential palace.
"We certainly don't have in our plans a break-up of our relations with Colombia," he added.

Colombian leader Alvaro Uribe has just returned from a tour of South American nations, in which he has tried to allay fears over his plans for US troops to use military bases inside Colombia.
The US wants to use Colombia as a regional hub for operations against drug-trafficking and terrorism. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8191057.stm |
