Venezuela military 'seizes ports'
Venezuela's military has taken control of key airports and sea ports under the terms of a move rubber-stamped by parliament a week ago, reports say.
The move centralises the running of the country's main transport hubs.
Critics of Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez have condemned the plans, calling them unconstitutional.
The pro-Chavez National Assembly voted last week to take over air, sea and road links, saying the move would guarantee essential public services.
