Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro blames enemies as he says he survived 'drone death attempt'

Posted: 04 Aug 2018 09:34 PM PDT

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro blames enemies as he says he survived 'drone death attempt'Nicolas Maduro, the Leftist leader of Venezuela, blamed far Right opponents, neighbouring Colombia and financiers based in Florida for what he said was an assassination attempt with a drone in Caracas on Saturday night. He appeared on TV hours after cutting short a speech to the country's military amid scenes of panic to point the finger at a familiar list of enemies. Officials said two drones loaded with explosives went off during the president's speech. However, firefighters disputed that version of events, saying a gas tank had exploded in an apartment. In an address to the nation, Mr Maduro said: "That drone was coming for me but there was a shield of love. I am sure I will live for many more years." He said initial investigations pointed to the far Right and to Colombia. Security agents surround Nicolas Maduro after explosion heard Credit: Xinhua via AP "I have no doubt that the name Juan Manuel Santos is behind this attack," he added, referring to the president of Colombia, who has suggested that Mr Maduro would soon be forced from power. Mr Maduro, who faces criticism from home and abroad for his handling of a battered economy, said he hoped Donald Trump would help with the investigation, as he claimed that financiers and planners of the attack were located in Florida.

"It is contrary to military honour to keep in government those who not only have forgotten the Constitution, but who have also made public office an obscene way to get rich," the group - known as Soldiers in T-shirts - said in a message posted on social media. Earlier, state television showed Mr Maduro addressing a ceremony marking the 81st anniversary of the National Guard. "To the conscious Venezuela, we are going to bet for the good of our country, the hour of the economic recovery has come and we need...," Mr Maduro was heard saying before he halted, looking startled, and the cameras cut away. Mr Maduro was standing next to his wife Cilia Flores and several high-ranking military officials for the event broadcast on radio and television.

The transmission was cut without explanation. Residents of Caracas took to Twitter to report hearing an explosion.

"The investigation clearly reveals they came from drone-like devices that carried explosives." He added that seven soldiers were wounded. However, firefighters at the scene disputed the government's account. Three officers told the Associated Press that the actual cause was a gas tank exploding inside an apartment. National Guard personnel run for cover Credit: Reuters Smoke could be seen coming out of a building window at the site of the incident. The Venezuelan TV channel NTN 24 posted video of what appeared to be the moment the drones exploded. No group has yet claimed responsibility. It comes months after Mr Maduro won re-election amid controversial circumstances. The opposition boycotted the ballot and many voters stayed at home. Venezuelans turn to herbal remedies as HIV drugs run low The president faces condemnation at home and abroad for his stewardship of Venezuela's economic collapse that has left most of the country living in poverty. Hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans have fled the country, where food and medicine are in very short supply, and where inflation this year could reach as high as one million percent according to the International Monetary Fund.

Hurricane Hector heading towards Hawaii's erupting Kilauea volcano

Posted: 04 Aug 2018 04:16 PM PDT

Hurricane Hector heading towards Hawaii's erupting Kilauea volcanoA major hurricane is cutting a path towards an active Hawaiian volcano where months of non-stop eruptions have already caused thousands to flee their homes. Scientists speculated that low-atmospheric pressure from Hurricane Hector could re-start major eruptions at the Kilauea Volcano, if it maintains its course over the southern edge of Hawaii's Big Island. Its current trajectory puts it on collision course with the volcano which is in the midst of a three-month-long eruption that has seen lava vents open under homes on its eastern flank while its summit crater collapses.

Vintage plane crash in Switzerland kills all 20 people on board

Posted: 05 Aug 2018 01:26 PM PDT

Vintage plane crash in Switzerland kills all 20 people on boardTwenty people were killed when a vintage aircraft operating a sightseeing flight over Switzerland crashed into the Alps over the weekend. There were no survivors, Swiss police announced yesterday (SUN) as a search and rescue operation was called off. The historic Junckers Ju-52 propellor plane disppeared on Saturday afternoon after taking off from Locarno in southern Switzerland on its way to a military airfield near Zurich. On board were three crew members and 17 passengers aged between 42 and 84 who had paid for the chance to travel on the 1930s-era aircraft. Among the passengers were an Austrian couple travelling with their grown-up son. The rest were believed to be Swiss. Locator: WWII vintage plane crash The wreckage of the aircraft was found 8,330 feet above sea level near Piz Segnas in the remote and rugged mountains of eastern Switzerland. "Based on the situation at the crash site we can say that the aircraft hit the ground almost vertically at a relatively high speed," Daniel Knecht, head of aviation at the Swiss Accident Investigation Board, told a press conference on Sunday The cause of the accident is unclear, but investigators said they could not rule out a link to the current heatwave in Europe. "What we can rule out at this point is a mid-air collision before the crash, either with another aircraft or with some other obstacle such as a cable," Mr Knehct said. There was no indication of any external interference with the flight, he added.  Wreckage of the old-time propeller plane Ju 52  Credit: AP Although the Junckers aircraft was almost 80 years old, it was serviced after every 35 hours of flying time and was believed to be in good condition after its most recent service at the end of July. Both pilots were experienced and had flown for regular civilian airlines and the Swiss air force. An investigation into the cause of the crash is likely to be complicated and take considerable time. The historic aircraft was not fitted with a black box or other modern data recording devices that could help explain what happened. The German-made Junckers Ju-52 was first produced in 1932 and was one of the earliest civilian passenger aircraft. During the 1930s it was the most widely used aircraft type in Europe. Affectionaly known in German as Tante Ju, or Auntie Ju, Ju-52s are chiefly remembered in Switzerland for providing a lifeline to parts of the country that were cut off by heavy avalances in 1952. A general view of the accident site of a Junkers Ju-52 airplane Credit: REUTERS The plane involved in the crash was being operated by Ju-Air, a Swiss company that specialises in sightseeing flights using historic aircraft. It had previously been used for tourist flights in Germany. Ju-Air said on Sunday it had suspended all operations until further notice in the wake of the crash. "The Ju-Air team is deeply saddened and our thoughts are with the passengers, the crew and families and friends of the victims," the company said in a statement posted on its website. In a separate incident a family of four were killed when their light aircraft crashed near Lucerne, in central Switzerland, on Saturday. The family was from the local area. Two children were among the dead.

Israel's 'loyal' Druze Arabs push for changes after Jewish state lawBy Ori Lewis JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel's new "nation-state" law has provoked anger among members of its most integrated minority, the Druze, prompting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to seek corrective legislation. Netanyahu has defended the law, which declares that only Jews have the right of self-determination in the country, from fierce criticism at home and abroad. In a further effort to calm tensions, Netanyahu convened a meeting with Druze community leaders in Tel Aviv late on Thursday but it was cut short because one of the participants, a retired senior military officer, had harshly criticized the legislation, Israeli media reported.
