Chavez backers pelt U.S. envoy’s car

Tagged: , ,

“Supporters of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez pelted the U.S. ambassador’s car with fruit, vegetables and eggs yesterday, and a group of motorcyclists chased his convoy for miles, at times pounding on the cars, a U.S. Embassy official said. No one was hurt.

Embassy spokesman Brian Penn said Venezuelan police escorts did not intervene as the car carrying Ambassador William Brownfield was pounded and pelted.

“We’re being attacked by groups of motorcyclists while we’re traveling in an embassy car,” Mr. Penn said by cell phone shortly before the motorcycles stopped chasing the four-car convoy. “
