Noticias24 reports a border incident between Colombian civilians and the Venezuelan Army. My rough Spanish-as-a-second-language translation follows;
In a confused incident, a unit of the DISIP (Venezuelan Security forces) has crossed the frontier and has penetrated into Colombian territory in Paraguachón. The inhabitants have surrounded the patrol and they have not allowed that the Venezuelan officials to recover the patrol.
Apparently, the unit of the DISIP was recovering a vehicle. The group of citizens of Paraguachón has exchanged insults against the DISIP of Venezuela and, with their aggressive attitude, units of the National Guard have crossed the border to help them and to protect them.
After minutes of tension, the situation returned to the calm but the vehicle of the DISIP still is in Colombian territory surrounded by the inhabitants of the locality. Colombian police units have approached the place.
Well, when you move a bunch of pissed off people towards each other with just an invisible barrier between them, something is bound to happen.
thanks for this report on this incident.

My best friend –who is Venezuelan– and I were just talking about this possibility last night, and we both agreed that the Colombian border communities would not stand Venezuelans entering under such circumstances. Unfortunately, we were both right.
