US trying to kill me: Chavez
Venezuela President Hugo Chavez renewed charges Saturday that Washington is trying to kill him, adding that his country's quarrel with the United States is with its government, not its people.
"There is in the US ... a plan to assassinate me, he said in New Delhi where he signed a slew of energy and other agreements with India's government.
"If anything happens to me, the responsibility will be with the president of the United States," Chavez, on the second day of a four-day visit to India, told a news conference.
