---------------------------------------------------------
Venezuela has announced it is expelling three US diplomats, whom it accuses of plotting to sabotage the economy.
President Nicolas Maduro said the diplomats have 48 hours to leave the country, saying "Yankees, go home!"
Mr Maduro says he has evidence that the trio took part in a power-grid sabotage in September and had bribed Venezuelan companies to cut down production.
The United States and Venezuela have been without ambassadors in each other's capitals since 2010.
The diplomats expelled have been named as Kelly Keiderling - the charge d'affaires and the most senior US diplomat in Caracas - David Moo and Elizabeth Hoffman.
``We completely reject the Venezuelan government's allegations of US government involvement in any type of conspiracy to destabilize the Venezuela government,'' the embassy said in a statement.
It said it had not yet been officially notified of the Venezuelan government decision to expel the three diplomats.
Mr Maduro made the announcement during an official ceremony at the city of Santa Ana.
"Out of Venezuela! Yankees go home! Enough of abuse against the dignity of a peace-loving nation," he said.
Venezuela is facing a shortage of several goods, including toilet paper, sugar and flour.
The opposition blames Mr Maduro's left-wing policies and rhetoric for the crisis.
US expels three Venezuelan diplomats :) Reported by AFP :))
... expelled for sabotage...in the soviet union and north korea they would have been shot but perhaps their American passports calls for preferential treatment
Is there any corner of the world where America isn't trying poke it's nose?
splitt, in fact UK couldn't do anything till the guy was in embassy
Painter - UK has with Assange
it's not easy to prison embassy staff in the name of protocols, generally.
Fathi, that is funny ! ;)
That they got away with mere deportation. Had the proof against them been beyond doubt, should they not have served some kind of prison term?
That said if indeed they are guilty then kudos to the Venezuelan authorities responsible in unearthing their plot!
Marco - but they did. They supported the Butcher Batista before Fide0l through him out. Viva Fidel.
..looks like the americans just cannot keep away from spying or poking their nose in other countries affairs be it Venezuela, Brazil, India, Sweden or in other peoples private lives

Given the unethical and dirty politics US has been practicing in Latin America, I think the Venezuelan President is saying the truth and he did the right thing.
The US administration’s foreign affairs in Latin America has been one known to install and support dictators in LA, well except for Fidel Castro, and for obvious reasons, because he was allies with Russia.
That is the poker game between superpowers.
Actually all what you said guys shows a part of the story
Dirty politics, Silly theatrics, No charges, Blame others for their problem.
It's like I am not afraid but actullay I am
My mouth is wide open but my hands are short
I really missed Hugo Chavez and Gaddafi in UNGA..
The USA has a history of overthrowing democratically elected govt that refuse to be Thier puppet . Good on Venezuela for taking the initiative.

why didn't they press charges and judge them ?
seems like a political propaganda a la chavez.
That the actual reason for Venezuela to do this is to provide a scapegoat for their worsening economy? They are trying to stay on to power, so they choose America to blame all their problem.
Lucky for the Americans they are allowed to leave the country. Had this been North Korea, the three would be serving life sentences...
silly theatrics!! I'll believe it once they stop selling oil to US and other businesses!!
Stone Cold ,, Do you mean by "these CIA "Apprentices" " ,, the three US diplomats
Indeed, these CIA "Apprentices" are all over the world. and that's the best that Venezuela can do to Big Brother.
This sort of thing goes on everyday all around the world..
It's just that due to the tensions between the two countries, this case is being highlighted..
Tomorrow we will all forget and move on to something else..
No one knows brit
But that man want to tease USA, or he is just being normal by kicking A corrupt person's A55 and we are over reacting!!
Politics is dirty business and no one really knows the truth..
