Ireland On-Linereports:Venezuela’s vice president has accused the United States of participating in a 2002 coup that briefly toppled President Hugo Chavez.
Jose Vicente Rangel made his comments while comparing the April 11, 2002 coup in Venezuela to the September 11, 1973 uprising that deposed Chilean president Salvador Allende.
He said both coups were acts of “terrorism” comparable to the September 11, 2001, attacks against America.
September 11 “is a date that represents terrorism for both the American and Chilean people”, Rangel said.
The Venezuelan coup “was in the same mould with the same characteristics as the one that happened in Chile.
