Venezuela renews Aruba accusations

Venezuela has reiterated its accusations that a United States air force 
plane based in Curacao has violated its airspace. Foreign relations 
committee chair, MP Roy Daza, has told Radio Netherlands Worldwide his 
country has incontrovertible evidence.

Mr Daza has renewed calls for the US and the Netherlands to clarify the 
incident. The call comes after MPs in Caracas studied recordings made by the 
control tower of Maiquetía airport, which are said to confirm that a US 
plane was in Venezuelan airspace in May.

The recording contains a conversation between a US air force pilot and the 
control tower. When air controllers ask the US pilot why he is in Venezuelan 
airspace, he answers he is not aware of the fact. After the conversation, 
the plane, which Caracas says then has flown 200 kilometres in Venezuelan 
airspace, heads back to Curacao. Venezuela also accuses the plane of 
crossing the no-fly zone around its air base of La Orchila, located on an 
island east of the Dutch Antilles.

The Netherlands has repeatedly reassured the Venezuelan authorities that US 
forces operating from Aruba and Curacao are only engaged in fighting drug 
traffickers. Venezuela says Washington, helped by the Netherlands, is 
preparing an attack on its country, and claims that the violation of its 
airspace is a provocation.
