CARACAS (Venezuela): The Venezuelan President, Hugo Chavez, said relations with Colombia would be put on hold until it apologises for paying bounty hunters to snatch a senior rebel from inside Venezuela, insisting the neighbouring country's actions were indefensible. But the Colombian President, Alvaro Uribe, offered no apologies, saying his country had a ``right to free itself from the nightmare of terrorism.'' The sharply worded statements came a day after Venezuela announced it had recalled its ambassador in response to Colombia's admission it paid bounty hunters to capture Rodrigo Granda, a member of the rebel Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC. Venezuelan officials called the December 13 capture of Granda in Caracas a violation of sovereignty, saying Colombia sent police and bribed local authorities to help abduct him.
