Military Foils Terrorist Infiltration from ColombiaMay 3, 2020
------------------------------

The Minister of Interior, Justice and Peace of Venezuela, Nestor Reverol,
announced on Sunday the disarticulation of an incursion by a terrorist
group into the country via sea.

Reverol said the infiltration attempt came from a terrorist group trying to
enter Venezuela from Colombia.

Reverol highlighted that the objective of this incursion was to commit
terrorist acts in the country, like carrying out assassinations of leaders
of the revolutionary government, while also promoting violence across the
South American nation.

He explained that the group of terrorist mercenaries from Colombia had the
purpose of committing terrorist acts against the country, murdering leaders
of the revolutionary government, increasing the spiral of violence,
generating chaos and confusion in the population and thereby deriving from
a new attempt to coup.

"These terrorists attempted to enter Venezuelan territory via speedboats
along the coasts of the state of La Guaira, but thanks to the timely and
effective action of our Bolivarian National Armed Forces, the Bolivarian
National Police and special action police, some were killed and others
arrested," he stressed.

Reverol also said that the weapons of these terrorists were seized, while
emphasizing that the operation is still ongoing, so details will be
provided later and other arrests are not ruled out, since a thorough ground
search is being carried out by land, sea and air.

"We remain on constant alert and and we will resist any threat against our
country and we will respond forcefully against these terrorist groups that
attempt disturb our peace, which is and will be our main victory," he said.
