CARACAS -- The president of Venezuela's newly-restored National
Assembly, William Lara, said vice president Diosdado Cabello will become
interim president until ousted leader Hugo Chavez can officially resign
before the legislature.

Earlier, the current interim leader, business executive Pedro Carmona,
reinstated the legislature after Venezuela's army commander said that
was a condition of the army's support for his regime.

It was not immediately clear what Lara's announcement would mean for
Carmona, who left the Miraflores presidential palace for a refuge in the
Fort Tiuna military base after the palace was surrounded by thousands of
Chavez supporters.
