Chavez may sell American F-16s to Iran

A top Venezuelan general says his regime might sell the country's fleet of 21 American-built F-16 fighter planes to Iran.

CNN reports that Gen. Alberto Muller says Caracas is considering "the feasibility of a negotiation with Iran for the sale of those planes."

Most of the fleet is grounded because the US has stopped selling Venezuela the necessary spare parts.
