Venezuela's Chavez says US ambassador must leave

President Hugo Chavez ordered the US ambassador to leave Venezuela in 72 hours and said he was immediately withdrawing his ambassador from Washington. Chavez said Thursday night that US Ambassador Patrick Duddy is no longer welcome, just as his close ally Bolivia expelled the American envoy from La Paz a day earlier. "They're trying to do here what they were doing in Bolivia," Chavez said, accusing Washington of trying to oust him. "That's enough ... from you, Yankees," he said during a televised rally, using an expletive.
