By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
President Hugo Chavez says that the United States is trying to bring him before an international court.
Chavez says the United States is using accusations that the Venezuelan government is supporting the Lebanese group Hizbullah to "see if the world will make a move" against him.
The United States has charged a Venezuelan official and others with helping Hizbullah . Washington considers the armed group and political party in Lebanon a terrorist organization.
The US Treasury Department said Wednesday that it has frozen the accounts of two Venezuelans: Diplomat Nasr al Din and Lebanese-born businessman Fazwi Kan'an.
