Hugo Chavez tells Venezuela troops to 'prepare for war' with Colombia
Colombia and Venezuela drew closer to the brink of conflict today after
President Hugo Chavez sent 15,000 Venezuelan troops to the volatile border
between the two countries, claiming that the US planned to use Colombian
bases to mount an invasion of his oil-rich nation.
President Alvaro Uribe of Colombia said that he would appeal to the UN over
the threat, which comes after months of sabre rattling over a deal that
allows the US to conduct operations out of Colombian bases.
