The claimed assassination attempt of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has caused the arrest of six “terrorists”. Two drones carrying several pounds of explosives supposedly were flown toward the president while he was giving a speech to the military. Soldiers present were able to “knock one of them off it’s course electronically.” The other crashed into an apartment building for some reason and started a fire.
Footage shows soldiers reacting but never the drones themselves, leading some to believe it was a hoax to gain support through sympathy. Maduro outright blames Columbian President Juan Manuel, who denies it.
