Caracas: Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez dared the US yesterday to put Venezuela on a list of countries accused of supporting terrorism, calling it one more attempt to undermine him for political reasons.
Republican lawmakers in Florida have called to add Venezuela to the list of terror sponsors among North Korea, Iran, Syria, Sudan and Cuba. They have expressed concerns about what they call Chavez's close ties to Colombia's leftist rebels.
Chavez said the "threat to include us on the terrorist list" is Washington's response to his government's successes in the region.
