Supporters of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez pray in a chapel outside the military hospital in Caracas March 5, 2013. Chavez’s adoring supporters prayed and wept on Tuesday over a serious setback in his battle against a cancer that threatens to end his 14-year rule of the South American OPEC member. In one of the gloomiest announcements to date on Chavez’s health, the government said on Monday night that his breathing problems had worsened and he was suffering from a “severe” new respiratory infection in a Caracas military hospital.
