CARACAS --
President Hugo Chávez said he ordered two
F-16 jets to intercept a U.S. military plane
that twice violated Venezuelan airspace on
Friday in what he called the latest
provocation in the South American nation's
skies. Brandishing a photo of the plane,
which he described as a P-3, Mr. Chávez said
the overflight was the latest incursion in
Venezuelan skies by the U.S. military from
its bases on the Netherlands' Caribbean
islands and from neighboring Colombia. There
was no immediate response from the U.S.
Defense. -- Wall Street Journal: Jan
