COLOMBIA/VENEZUELA: Fanning The Sparks Of War As 2 Bridges Destroyed.

BLOOMBERG/GLOBAL VOICES ONLINE/
Venezuelan soldiers dynamited two rope suspension bridges over the Tachira River near Ragonvalia, in Colombia's northeastern province of Norte de Santander because the bridges were allegedly used to move contraband. “It’s almost like somebody’s hitting a piece of flint trying to get a spark going,” said Adam Isacson of the Center for International Policy. “The minor incidents are coming fast and furious. If you’re looking for a casus belli, something is coming up almost every day.”
