Maduro: Terrorist attack targets petrochemical plant directed by US

SANAA, Nov. 1 (YPA) – Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Sunday announced a new attack on a petrochemical plant in the country.

“Yesterday there was an attack on an important petrochemical plant, a terrorist attack,” Maduro said on Twitter.

“These are direct terrorist attacks against Venezuela’s economy, industry and strategic sectors,” the president added.

He noted that this attack was planned in Colombia and directed by the United States.

On 28 November, the Venezuelan President announced a shooting at the large Amway oil refinery and the arrest of two foreigners who were planning to assassinate political leaders.

Maduro described the situation in the country as an ongoing conspiracy against the lives of citizens and strategic industries — energy supplies, oil production and processing, as well as government services.
