Pat Robertson Tells US to Assasinate Pres. Chavez of Venezuela
US religious broadcaster Pat Robertson has called for the US to assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
Mr Robertson caused controversy with the comments on his TV show, describing Mr Chavez as "a terrific danger".
Venezuela's vice president accused Robertson of making "terrorist" remarks and said the US response would put its anti-terror policy to the test.
The US State Department said the comments were "inappropriate" and did not reflect the policy of the US.
