Venezuela severs ties with Colombia
Caracas, Feb 24 (IANS) Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro declared to sever diplomatic and political relations with neighbouring Colombia, following the latter's support for Venezuela's right-wing opposition and military defectors.

Colombia's embassy staff must "leave within 24 hours," he added.
