Aruba To Release Venezuelan Diplomat Sought By Us

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — A former Venezuelan general detained in Aruba on U.S. drug charges will be released by the Dutch Caribbean island and sent home, authorities said Sunday. Venezuelan Foreign Minister Elias Jaua read parts of what he said was a letter from the Netherlands' ambassador in Caracas agreeing with the Venezuelan government's position that Hugo Carvajal's detention violated international law because he was sent to Aruba as Venezuela's consul and was carrying a diplomatic passport. Jaua said President Nicolas Maduro had sent a high-level mission to Aruba on a private plane to bring Carvajal home no later than Monday.
