Massive Procession Concludes Mourning Period for Hugo Chávez 
--------------------------------------------------------------


 
Venezuela has wrapped up its 10-day mourning period for the late
President Hugo Chávez. On Friday, hundreds of thousands of people lined
the streets of Caracas as Chávez's remains were brought to the military
museum where he launched his political career more than 20 years ago.
The Venezuelan government had vowed to embalm Chávez's body and put it
on permanent display, but it may have to abandon those plans because the
process began too late.
