Venezuela nabs hitmen in alleged plot to kill Maduro

[Zorro]

Venezuela said Monday it derailed a plot to kill President Nicolas Maduro, arresting two hitmen it said wanted to execute the leftist leader on orders from a Colombian ex-president.

Interior Minister Miguel Rodriguez said at a briefing that Caracas arrested the alleged hitmen, two Colombians, on August 13.

The two, Víctor Johan Guache Mosquera and Erick Leonardo Huertas Rios, were part of "a group of 10 men who were coming to carry out the murder of the president," working with former Colombian president Alvaro Uribe, Rodriguez charged.

They were part of a support team for a "highly experienced hitman" identified by the alias David, whom they reported to directly and who was to personally carry out the killing, the minister said.

2. As long as the Venezuelan economy continues to

swirl the bowl you'll hear more and more about 'theats from abroad' from Maduro and company. Never shy about blaming anybody (or any thing) for their own ineptitude.
