"NO JUSTIFICATION" FOR CIVILIAN DEATHS : Chávez raises its voice with pain and courage and morality ... let the killing of innocents in Afghanistan stop right away," he added, speaking during a lengthy, detailed account of his recent three-week tour of 14 countries. He held the pictures of the dead children, who included a baby, up close to the camera and said: "See this baby, what fault did it have? ... These children can't be blamed, not for terrorism nor for bin Laden, nor for anything like that."
Chávez rejected the US's explanation "There is no justification of any kind, you can't say it was a mistake. Ah, a mistake. And will they carry on making these mistakes?"
VENEZUELA'S Chávez DEFENDS TIES WITH IRAQ, LIBYA
CARACAS, Venezuela -- September 28, 2001 - Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez on Friday defended his friendly ties with nations shunned by the United States and said he saw no proof that countries such as Iraq and Libya were "terrorist" states.
In an emotional speech to parliament, the Venezuelan leader angrily rejected criticism of his oil-rich country's foreign policy in the tense aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks against the United States.
Following these attacks, foreign and domestic opponents of the outspoken president have stepped up calls for him to reduce Venezuela's ties with states blacklisted by Washington as "sponsors of terrorism."
But Chávez unreservedly defended these ties on Friday, hailing countries such as Iraq, Libya, Iran and others as "brothers and partners" of Venezuela in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
