<p>The Ministry of Defense announced Monday that
the Bolivarian Armed Forces of Venzuela have repelled an
attempted attack on their facilities in Caracas.</p>
<p>In a statement, the Ministry of Defense reported that
the situation occurred in the middle of the night
of Jan. 21 at approximately at 2:50 local time. "A small
group of assailants assigned to the zone commando No. 43
of the Bolivarian National Guard, betraying their oath
of allegiance to the Homeland and its
institutions," said Captain Gerson Soto Martínez,
commander of the Macarao police coordination post.</p>
<p>From their post, the assailants "moved on two military
vehicles, then broke into the headquarters of the urban
security outpost located in the town of Petare, Sucrem,
removing a cache of weapons of war and kidnapped under
threat of death, two officers and two national guard
members of the aforementioned outpost."</p>
<p>He also detailed that the criminals surrendered
and were captured at the headquarters of the Waraira
Repano special security unit in Cotiza, in the town of
Libertador, also affiliated with the Bolivarian National
Guard. " The Ministry of Defense explained that during
the detention it was possible to recover the stolen
weaponry. In addition, the detainees "are providing
information of interest to the intelligence agencies and
the military justice system."</p>
<p>The Bolivian Armed Forces categorically rejected these
acts, "which are certainly motivated by dark interests
of the extreme right and are contrary to the basic rules
of military discipline, honor and the traditions of our
institution."</p>
<p>The president of the National Constituent Assembly
(ANC), Diosdado Cabello, rejected the theft of military
installations and said that the intention was to
generate violence and anxiety in the population: </p>
