ANDEAN MEETING CANCELED
CARACAS, Venezuela, Nov. 27 Venezuela canceled a Dec. 8-9 meeting of
leaders from the Andean region today, citing schedule problems, but the
move came amid a war of words with Colombia over its plans to intensify its
fight against drugs and Marxist rebels.
The dispute heated up after Caracas served as host last week to a meeting
with Colombian rebel representatives. Colombia recalled its ambassador to
Venezuela for consultations, a move Venezuela copied today.
