Narrative:Venezuelan authorities captured a drug-smuggling plane after the aircraft was spotted by one of the drones the Andean nation is developing in partnership with Iran, President Hugo Chavez said Wednesday 26 September 2012.
After the drone detected "the unusual landing of a plane" Tuesday night 25 September 2012 in the southwestern state of Apure, he authorized the dispatch of helicopters equipped with night-vision capability, the president said.
The plane was captured on the border with Colombia where it fell into a swamp.
