VENEZUELA: UPDATE: Putin Visits Chavez, Promises Nuclear Help.
AP/MIAMI HERALD/ 03 Abril DETAILED UPDATE/ Despite recent terrorist bombings at home, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin made his first visit to Venezuela. In Caracas, Putin offered to help Chavez set up a space industry, including a satellite launch site and plan to construct a nuclear plant. He also discussed a joint venture to pump oil from the rich Orinoco Belt.
