Hooded men take over Caracas Archbishop's Palace
A group of hooded men and people who said to be followers
of President Hugo Chávez's government Wednesday took
over the Caracas Archbishop's Palace, downtown Caracas.
The group broke into the building where Cardinal Jorge Urosa
Savino has his office and expelled the office staff.
Some of the demonstrators were wearing red t-shirts, black
berets and t-shirts bearing pictures of Che Guevara.
Spokespersons for the Venezuelan Bishops' Conference (CEV)
claimed that the group broke into the palace "in a violent
manner," local news television channel Globovisión reported.
