Scotsman.com News - International - US 'smears to keep Venezuela off UN council'

Venezuela: Vice President Jose Vicente Rangel has accused the US of trying to block Venezuela from a seat on the UN Security Council through a smear campaign.

He was responding to comments reportedly made by John Bolton, the US ambassador to the UN, that Venezuela's addition to the 15-member council would be undesirable.

Indonesia: Police arrested two men and seized 3000 detonators and fuses they said came from a passenger ferry that originated in Malaysia.

The devices were seized on a ferry in Nunukan on the Indonesian side of Borneo.
