Would-be Maduro drone assassin speaks to CNN
The man who claims he planned the exploding-drone attack on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro along with defectors from the Venezuelan military has come forward to tell his story – to CNN, of all people.
The would-be drone bomber says he met with US officials three times after the attack that took place at a military parade in August last year. In an interview with CNN, he claims the US officials seemed receptive to giving them “things in return” for information about the assassination attempt.
A State Department spokesman declined to comment, saying only “Our policy is to support a peaceful transition in Venezuela.”
The assassin, who wished to remain anonymous for obvious reasons, provided video of the conspirators tinkering with the improvised drone bomb, which they reportedly built themselves in a farmhouse in Colombia using materials they purchased online from the US. His footage also showed the group practising flying the drones “high enough to not be seen,” then diving steeply to hit their target, before dismantling them and sneaking them into Venezuela.
The man acknowledged the attack could have killed innocent civilians, had the bombs not detonated prematurely when the cellular signal blockers protecting Maduro reactivated, but claimed he was desperate.

BTW, for those of you who don't know him, Er Conde del Guacharo is a Venezuelan comedian who makes fun of all things Venzeuelan, especially politicians. Below is a clip of him being attacked by a drone. His body guards jump to his defense, covering him with cardboard boxes from the Clap Program. Funny shit. I'm shocked and amazed he's not in imprisoned in El Helicoide getting the crap beat out of him for making fun of Jowls Maduro.
