Venezuela 'drone attack': Maduro would accept FBI help to investigate

12 August 2018

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has said he would allow US FBI agents into the country to help investigate the alleged assassination attempt against him a week ago.

The president said he believed that the people involved had fled to Florida, Peru and Colombia.

The US has indicated it will co-operate with investigations, but it has not made a known offer for an FBI visit.

The Venezuelan leader regularly accuses the US of wanting to overthrow him.

However, in a televised address late on Saturday, President Maduro surprised many by saying he would accept US help to investigate the alleged plot.

1. Maduro says a lot of crazy stuff

He talks to birds that he thinks are the spirit of Chavez.

He also thinks he is a great statesman, because he can sing llanero, and dance joporo better than Colombia's president.

Regardless, unless the FBI finds and reports a "vast US/EU/Colombian conspiracy" to bring down Chavismo, any findings would be dismissed as quickly as accusations of Chavismo neglect of Venezuelan infrastructure over the past 19 years.

It's all symbolism and bluster with Chavismo. They are blameless for everything. Besides, Maduro would never let the FBI inside the machinations of Chavismo to investigate anything. He won't let his own people investigate.
