Venezuelan Army Clashes
With Unidentified
Fighters Along Border
with Colombia
Venezuelan President
Hugo Chavez said on
Saturday that an armed
encounter between
Venezuelan soldiers and
unidentified armed
fighters occurred along
the Venezuela-Colombia
border during which one
person was killed.
Chavez said he was told
of the Friday clash by
Minister of the Interior
and Justice Ramon
Rodriguez Chacin.
The president, however,
said it was not clear to
which group the armed
fighters belonged and
what they were doing
there.
There were no immediate
reports on the specific
location -- whether it
was on the Venezuelan
side or the Colombian
side -- of the clash.
