Bolivian Mob Attacks Venezuelan Military Plane With Rocks
AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE, LA PAZ, BOLIVIA

An angry mob of Bolivian civilians threw rocks at a Venezuelan military plane refueling at an airport in northeastern Bolivia, forcing the unwelcome aircraft to fly out of town, according to a Dec. 6 report.
The leader of a local civic group opposed to President Evo Morales, who is a top ally of leftist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, said no Venezuelan military planes would be allowed to land in Riberalta, especially if they are carrying weapons.
“We have to defend our people,” Riberalta Civic Committee President Marcos Jauregui was quoted as saying by the Catholic news agency Erbol.
“Why wasn’t there a press conference to disclose what they are bringing to the country? We must be vigilant because we will not allow Venezuelan planes to come,” he said.
A Bolivian aviation source, who requested anonymity, confirmed that the plane was a Hercules airplane belonging to the Venezuelan air force.
The source said the plane landed in Riberalta after it was not allowed to refuel at its original destination, the Brazilian city of Rio Branco, for unknown reasons.
Up to 200 people with signs saying “Enough interference!” threw stones at the plane, which left to an unknown destination amid rumors it was carrying weapons.

We will most likely see more incidents like this, I think Chavez`s goon squads did him more harm than good when they decided to attempt a suppression of some of the opposition during his recent attempt to gain more power, this only made alot of people suspect of his true intentions and at what lengths he will go thru to get what he wants in his country and that part of the world. Seems like some of his OPEC counsel members recently were not to happy with him either ranting and raving over the decline of the U.S dollar. Each day that goes by he loses more and more respect from a vast majority of the world leaders, heck recently even Spains prime minister told him to shut his mouth over a ranting and raving session concerning the King of Spain. Let him talk it`s becoming more and more comical.
