COLOMBIA: Venezuela Sending 15,000 Troops To Border.

COLOMBIA REPORTS/
Claiming the border with Colombia needs beefing-up, President Hugo Chavez is sending 15,000 soldiers to increase security, combat drug trafficking and root out paramilitary groups.
The Venezuelan border states of Zulia, Tachira, Apure, Amazonas and Bolivar will see troop increases as tensions with Colombia increase.
Venezuelan Vice President Ramon Carrizalez accused Colombia of intentionally allowing violence to spill over the border as a means of "destabilizing" Chavez's government. "Colombia has been creating a pre-war atmosphere," Carrizalez said.
