"This provocation came from Washington, it is the latest attempt by the imperialists ... to ruin our relations with Colombia," he said on Sunday. As well as recalling its envoy to Colombia over the capture, Venezuela has demanded an apology and suspended economic ties. Colombia has defended the operation that led to Mr Granda's arrest, but denies that its agents were involved in seizing him in Venezuela. An aide to Colombian President Alvaro Uribe said the crisis would be discussed at a regional summit. The US on Saturday offered its "100% support" for Colombia's actions. US Secretary of State-designate Condoleezza Rice said last week that Mr Chavez was a negative force in Latin America. news.bbc.co.uk ----------------------------- must be some kind of coincidence .. gimme back your oil
