On Tuesday, November 3rd Venezuela sent soldiers to block the main border crossing with Colombia after Chavez said that on Monday paramilitaries shot two Venezuelan soldiers. These paramilitaries have originally been set up to fight Colombian guerrilla groups and they operate on the border, as well as Colombian rebels and well as criminal gangs. The closing is not formal however measures had to be taken, as lately there have been quite a few incidents on the border. Last week 10 dead bodies were found identified by Venezuela as Colombian paramilitaries. Venezuela also charged three men (two Colombians and one Venezuelan) for spying for Colombia’s government.
