US Expels Venezuelan Diplomats
Comes shortly after American military officials were expelled from Caracas
The United States has expelled two Venezuelan diplomats, following the expulsion of US attaches from Caracas.
The move comes as two US military officials were sent back only hours before the announcement of President Hugo Chavez's death on Tuesday.
At the time, Vice President Nicolas Maduro accused them of "attempting to destabilise the country."

The Chavistas can destabilize Venezuela all by themselves.
And they're doing it thoroughly.
