CARACAS (Reuters) – Venezuelan authorities said on Sunday they have detained six people over drone explosions the day before at a rally led by President Nicolas Maduro, as his critics warned the socialist leader would use the incident to crack down on adversaries.
The suspects launched two drones laden with explosives over an outdoor rally Maduro was holding in downtown Caracas to commemorate the National Guard, Interior Minister Nestor Reverol said. One was “diverted” by security forces while the second fell on its own and hit an apartment building, Reverol said.
The attack highlights Maduro’s challenges in maintaining control over the OPEC nation, where widespread food and medicine shortages have fueled outrage and despair everywhere from hillside slums to military barracks.
“These terrorist acts represent a slap in the face to the expressed desire of the President of the Republic, Nicolas Maduro, for national reconciliation and dialogue,” Reverol said in a statement read on state television.
State television footage of the rally showed Maduro startled by what appeared to be an explosion and footage later panned to soldiers lined up on a boulevard who chaotically broke ranks in what appeared to be a reaction to a second blast.
The president later described the attack, which injured seven soldiers, as an assassination attempt. (Reuters)
I have observed that over the course of developing a relationship with real estate proprietors, you’ll be able to come to understand that, in each and every real estate contract, a fee is paid. All things considered, FSBO sellers do not “save” the fee. Rather, they struggle to earn the commission by simply doing a agent’s job. In accomplishing this, they spend their money as well as time to perform, as best they can, the assignments of an agent. Those jobs include revealing the home by way of marketing, representing the home to all buyers, constructing a sense of buyer emergency in order to make prompt an offer, arranging home inspections, handling qualification assessments with the bank, supervising repairs, and assisting the closing.
