Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has questioned whether the US has developed a secret technology to give cancer to left-wing leaders in Latin America, the BBC reported.

Treated for cancer this year, Mr Chavez was speaking a day after it emerged that Argentina's president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner had thyroid cancer.

Fernando Lugo of Paraguay, Dilma Rousseff of Brazil and her predecessor Lula da Silva have also had cancer.

Mr Chavez said the instances of cancer among Latin American leaders were "difficult to explain using the law of probabilities".（點擊英國廣播公司網站查看原文）
