Chavez considers breaking US ties

Venezuela's flamboyant leader has repeatedly attacked US policies
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez says he will consider breaking diplomatic ties with the US if it fails to hand over a Cuban-born terror suspect.
Venezuela says Luis Posada Carriles must stand trial over the 1976 bombing of Cuba's plane that killed 73 people.

Mr Chavez says Washington would be guilty of protecting international terrorism if it refused extradition.

Mr Posada Carriles - the 77-year-old former CIA employee - was charged last week with illegal entry into the US.

US immigration officials said that he would be held in custody until an immigration court hearing on 13 June.

Washington has up to 60 days to consider Venezuela's extradition request under a 1922 treaty between the two countries.

Looks like he has a record of violence activity. Extradition should be a natural follow-on...

Porbably, but if this isn't what fosters Chavez's final break with the US, it'll be something else. Chavez is rabidly anti-US and is looking for an opportunity to break lines of communication.
