Venezuela Detains 6 People Following Apparent Attempt On Maduro's Life
President Nicolas Maduro emerged unscathed after blasts interrupted his televised address. But now, the focus is turning to who was responsible — and how hard the authoritarian regime will retaliate.
Venezuelan authorities have detained six people in connection with an apparent attempt to assassinate President Nicolas Maduro, according to the country's interior minister, Néstor Luis Reverol. The minister explained Sunday that they're also seeking to question at least one more person about the explosions that interrupted Maduro's televised speech to national guard troops a day earlier.
Reverol says it was — one hitting a nearby apartment building, the other crashing after getting disoriented by government jamming signals.
