Hugo Chavez has said any US spies will be arrested
The United States has ordered the expulsion of a senior Venezuelan diplomat in a tit-for-tat move.

On Thursday, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez announced the expulsion of a US naval attache.

Mr Chavez accused the official, John Correa, of spying and said he would be removed immediately. The US called the accusations "baseless".

Relations between the two countries were already under strain before the development of this latest row.
