Venezuelan authorities say they’ve detained six people suspected of using a pair of drones each packed with 2 pounds (1 kilogram) of explosives to assassinate President Nicolas Maduro.

Interior Minister Nestor Luis Reverol on Sunday described it as a terrorist attack and said more arrests could follow within hours.

Two loud explosions sounded on Saturday as Maduro was speaking on national television at a military ceremony. Bodyguards quickly shielded Maduro as troops lined up in the street ran for safety.

Reverol says the explosives on each drone could have affected an area more than 160 feet (50 meters) away.

He says security officers disabled one drone that was flying toward the stage where Maduro was standing beside his wife and other high-ranking officials.

Reverol says the second drone crashed into a nearby building and exploded.

Officials say seven members of the National Guard were injured, three gravely.

I doubt if this was an attempt on Maduro. Venezuelan’s can’t afford such sofisticated attacks.
When his assassination happens, it will be a simple bullet delivered by someone he knows.

I would doubt that it was a “drone bombing,” because that actúally would have gotten him - and the soldiers wouldn’t have seen it anyway.

IMHO, it was a launched propane tank (a favorite weapon throughout Latin America) that overshot its mark and landed in this building where the firefighters could legitimately say that it was a propane tank explosion. The soldiers would have seen it and known immediately what it was.

Don’t forget that Maduro controls every word the media writes.

Sounds like a false flag to rally his brown shirts. When you are a dismal failure a false flag is probably the only option left.
