Caracas-Sana
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro revealed that the United States was preparing a terrorist plot to assassinate him.
AFP quoted Maduro as saying in his comment during a military ceremony yesterday on the visits made by CIA Director William Burns and the commander of US Southern Command Southcom Admiral Craig Faller to Colombia and Brazil: “Did Joe Biden endorse Donald Trump’s orders to lead Venezuela into a civil war and kill us?” …”.
He added: "What did Burns and Faller do... Our sources in Colombia assure us that they came to prepare a plan targeting me and important political and military leaders," and the question is "Did President Joe Biden allow the plan aimed at assassinating me and senior political and military leaders in Venezuela...".
The Venezuelan president confirmed the involvement of right-wing opposition leader Juan Guaido in orchestrating the infiltration attempt by a group of mercenaries, including two Americans, into Venezuelan territory in May last year with the aim of destabilizing the country and carrying out a coup.
