US to expel Venezuelan diplomat

From BBC News:

The United States has ordered the expulsion of a senior Venezuelan diplomat in a tit-for-tat move. On Thursday, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez announced the expulsion of a US naval attache.

Relations between the two countries were already under strain before the development of this latest row.
