COLOMBIA: Uribe Tries To Cool Chavez's Ire.

COLOMBIA REPORTS/
President Alvaro Uribe asked Venezuela not to create a "Berlin Wall" over a crisis about border violence and espionage charges.
The murders of nine Colombian civilians and two Venezuelan soldiers near the frontier and accusations from Hugo Chavez that three Colombian agents were caught spying have heated-up. "Colombia would never build a Berlin Wall on the frontier, our countries can never be divided, they cannot be separated," Uribe said on the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
