Venezuelan warplanes cross into Colombian airspace
http://news.yahoo.com/venezuelan-warplanes-cross-colombian-airspace-020816516.htmlBogota (AFP) - The Colombian defense ministry said Venezuelan warplanes crossed several kilometers into Colombian airspace amid a border crisis between the neighbors.
Air force radars "detected the entry to Colombian territory of two Venezuelan military aircraft in the Alta Guajira zone" on the northern border with Venezuela on Saturday afternoon, the ministry said in a statement.
The planes, it said, entered Colombia for nearly three kilometers and then flew over an army unit.
The ministry did not describe the type of aircraft detected.
