Venezuela Accuses US DEA of Spying

Caracas, Sep 19 (Prensa Latina) Venezuela's Attorney General Isaias
Rodriguez said on Wednesday they have indications of espionage activity
by the US Drug Enforcement Agency.

In an interview with local Union Radio, Rodriguez said that Venezuela's
breaking-off with DEA stemmed from the way the US entity was acting,
including conducting raids without authorization.

He explained that the US agents never gave the slightest bit of
information leading to the capture of any "big fish," but rather only
"mules and small drug dealers."

The attorney general also revealed that Venezuelan authorities tried to
reach an agreement to clearly establish areas of competence, but there
was no cooperation from the DEA, which led them into considering if
they were carrying out espionage missions in the country.
