CARACAS, Venezuela — President Hugo Chavez said Thursday he's mulling the possibility of allowing Venezuela's air force to shoot down suspected drug planes, but he is not convinced it's a good idea.

"We are studying it. This is something tough. There are countries that have it: authorization to shoot down planes," Chavez said. "I don't like the idea, but I'm thinking about it."

Venezuelan air force jets recently pursued a suspected drug plane, he said, but its pilot ignored orders to land the aircraft and continued flying undisturbed through Venezuelan territory.

"We detect many planes that are used for drug smuggling," Chavez said. "Sometimes they mock our pilots."
