Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez used a visit by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Wednesday to brand Israel as a murderous agent of Washington.
Chavez singled out a comment by Israeli President Shimon Peres, during a visit this month to South America, that his and Ahmadinejad's days in power may be numbered. "We know what the state of Israel stands for a murderous arm of the Yankee empire," Chavez told joint news conference. "What the president of Israel said, we take as a threat." (Reuters)
