Venezuela Plans Protest Against U.S.

[cal04]

President Hugo Chavez on Tuesday said Venezuela will summon the U.S. ambassador to issue a diplomatic protest after the foreign minister was temporarily detained by authorities at a New York airport.

Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro say authorities at John F. Kennedy International airport tried to frisk and handcuff him Saturday as he tried to catch a flight after attending the U.N. General Assembly session.

``We're going to put out a protest note, and the U.S. ambassador in Venezuela will be called,'' Chavez told reporters. ``And in that protest note, it says 'If that happens again, we would be obligated to give at least equal treatment to whomever.'''
