Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez has expelled the U.S. ambassador due to alleged allocations of unacceptable treatment by Washington.

Chavez said Washington was behind an alleged plot by retired military officers to kill him and said it had plans to bomb him from planes marked as Venezuelan.

It has been further assessed that other types of aggressions has been aimed at not just Chavez, but Venezuela.

Chavez told his own ambassador to the United States to come home before he was thrown out.

The U.S. State Department said it had not been officially notified of the expulsion. Which is not surprising when it is a ‘they do not wish to do so,’ so say this scenario; especially since more then Venezuela has requested the explosion of U.S. ambassador’s, but Embassy closures.
