Venezuela Claims Two Colombians Plotted To Kill President Maduro

Venezuela Claims Two Colombians Plotted To Kill President Maduro

CARACAS, Aug 27 (BERNAMA-NNN-Agencies) -- Interior Minister Miguel Rodriguez Torres said that two Colombians were arrested and they have confessed to plotting to assassinate President Nicolas Maduro.

Rodriguez told a news conference that the two suspects, Victor Johan Gueche Mosquera, 22, and Erick Leonardo Huertas Rios, 18, are members of a criminal gang operating out of Colombia. They entered Venezuela illegally on Aug 13.

"They have been discovered, we have enough evidence on how they entered, where they entered, how much they were paid and the mission they were on," said Rodriguez.

Rodriguez then detailed the information gathered on the two suspects, saying they belonged to a gang named after its ringleader Oscar Alcantara Gonzalez, who goes by the name Gancho Mosco, and who is serving a sentence for recruiting underage delinquents to carry out homicides and drug trafficking.

According to Rodriguez, Alcantara's contact in Venezuela, identified as Alejandro Caicedo, helped the two suspects travel from Colombia's capital Bogota to the border city of Cucuta. From there, they entered Venezuela through southwest Tachira and traveled by land to Valencia, capital of north central Carabobo state.

these Colombians are 'found' to really be secret agents for the CIA. Etc., etc., etc. ad nauseam. If Maduro spent as much time trying to straighten up Venezuela's economic slide as he does putting his foot in his mouth he (and the country) would be in better shape.

Chavista knows that. And possible the Bildeberg Group, the Illimunati and the Masons, too.
