Venezuela lashes U.S., opposition amid blame over activist's slaying
Venezuela's government on Friday blasted the United States for linking an activist's murder to upcoming legislative elections and said it would sue an opposition leader who blamed the ruling Socialist Party.
The killing of Luis Diaz, a leader of opposition Democratic Action party in central Guarico state, has rocked Venezuela days before the vote for a new National Assembly, which the Socialists risk losing for the first time in 16 years.
Diaz was shot dead at a campaign rally on Wednesday.
In the emotional aftermath, Henry Ramos, national head of Democratic Action, and Lilian Tintori, wife of jailed opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez and a witness to the shooting, blamed the ruling party.
