I have cancer: Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez has operation to remove tumour

dailymail.co.uk — Venezuela's flamboyant socialist leader Hugo Chavez has confirmed he has undergone an operation to remove a cancerous tumor.

Nor did he name a temporary substitute to lead the country of 29 million people. Jul 1, 2011 View in Crawl 4
