CARACAS, Venezuela — President Hugo Chavez recalled Venezuela’s ambassador to Colombia and froze diplomatic relations on Tuesday to protest Bogotá’s suggestions that weapons found in a rebel arms cache came from Venezuela.
Chavez accused the government of President Alvaro Uribe of acting “irresponsibly,” saying there is no evidence the Swedish-made rocket launchers came from Venezuela. The socialist leader threatened to seize control of Colombian-owned businesses “if there’s one more accusation against Venezuela.”
Sweden has said the weapons originally were sold to Venezuela’s military.
