Mr.Chavez, who made the announcement Saturday, pulled Gustavo Marquez fromhis post just over a week ago amid progress in plans by Colombia toaccept more U.S. troops at seven military bases.

The United States has been in talks with Bogota about relocating drug interdiction flights to Colombia.

Last month, Colombia said it had captured weapons from FARC that had been produced in Sweden and sold to Venezuela.
