Colombian-Venezuelan Tensions Heat up

Colombian-Venezuelan Tensions Heat up

Four Venezuelan National Guard soldiers captured on Colombian soil will be
sent back to Venezuela in order to mitigate tensions between the two countries. Relations have suffered since Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez ordered the military to prepare for a potential armed confrontation with Colombia two weeks ago. On Monday, Venezuela’s ambassador to Bogota declared that there is a “pre-war situation” between the two countries in light of Colombia’s recent military pact with the United States.
