CARACAS, Venezuela (Reuters) - Venezuela is ready to work with U.S law enforcement agencies to fight terrorism and drug-trafficking but not with the CIA, because it is trying to topple President Hugo Chavez, a minister said on Monday.


Interior Minister Jesse Chacon swore in the new chief of Venezuela's DISIP national intelligence service, Col. Henry Rangel, and said the service was willing to work with foreign counterparts, including agencies from the United States.

"In the area of drugs, of course we'll keep on working with the DEA (U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration) and with all those organizations with which we're cooperating against terrorism," Chacon told reporters.

He said Venezuela also would work with the Federal Bureau of Investigation but he added: "It would be difficult for us to work with the CIA ... which has toppled governments in Chile, Guatemala, Grenada and Nicaragua and is trying to topple this one as well."

1. I would be surprised if the CIA is actually involved in Venezuela....

...it's more likely to be the OSP, DIA, and Naval Intell.
