The Venezuelan government announced the arrest on Monday after checking the identity of the assassins with Colombia police. Víctor Joan Gueche Mosquera and Erick Leonardo Huerta Ríos were captured on August 15th on the Panamericana highway in Venezuela. Authorities said that the suspects were found with two firearms equipped with cartridges and laser sights, a photo of Maduro and the president of the National Assembly, as well as 10 Venezuela army uniforms. According to Venezuelan Interior Minister Miguel Rodriguez, the plot is part of an international conspiracy that is trying, through violent means, to destabilize our country by taking the life of the President or, if unsuccessful, the president of the National Assembly. The minister recently accused former Colombia president Alvaro Uribe of being behind a plot to assassinate Maduro. *MORE:* Uribe again accused of plotting to assassinate Venezuelan president<http://colombiareports.co/uribe-accused-of-plotting-to-assassinate-venezualan-president/> Torres accused Uribe of twice meeting with the former interim president of Honduras, Roberto Micheletti, a delegation sent by infamous Venezuelan terrorist Luis Posada, an active Colombian state official, and a CIA agent. According to Torres, the aim of these meetings allegedly held in April in both Miami, Florida, and Bogota was to make contact with the right-wing Venezuelan [opposition] and plan these destabilizing actions. In May, Maduro himself accused Uribe of being a murderer and of using paramilitary groups to try to kill him. He has also accused Uribe of plotting with Venezuela opposition leader Henrique Capriles; Uribe denies ever having met him. *MORE:* Venezuela claims capture of Colombian paramilitaries<http://colombiareports.co/venezuela-claims-capture-of-colombian-paramilitaries/> Sources - Detienen Sicarios Con Órdenes De Asesinar Al Presidente Nicolás Maduro<http://www.telesurtv.net/articulos/2013/08/26/detienen-a-dos-colombianos-en-venezuela-con-presuntos-planes-de-asesinar-al-presidente-nicolas-maduro-2040.html> (Telesur) - Ministro Revela Identidad De Quienes Planean Asesinato Del Presidente Venezolano<http://colombiareports.co/alleged-assassination-attempt-venezuela-president-foiled/Ministro%20revela%20identidad%20de%20quienes%20planean%20asesinato%20del%20presidente%20venezolano> (Telesur) - -------------------------------- - Colombian secret police snatch TUC week guest Monday 26 August 2013 by Richard Bagley [image: Printable page] Printable<http://www.morningstaronline.co.uk/news/layout/set/print/content/view/full/136810> [image: Email] Email<http://www.morningstaronline.co.uk/news/content/tipafriend/136810> Fears grew today over the fate of a top Colombian trade unionist snatched by secret police two weeks before he was due to address the TUC Congress in Bournemouth. Solidarity activists were waiting for news on the fate of agricultural workers union Fensuagro vice-president Huber Ballesteros who was detained for "rebellion" by intelligence officers in the capital Bogota. Agents for the right-wing government swooped at 3.30pm local time on Sunday, hours before he was scheduled to visit the British embassy for a visa to attend the annual trade union parliament. His whereabouts were unknown today. Mr Ballesteros, a national organiser for social justice movement the Patriotic March, had been forced to travel with guards due to repeated death threats. He is one of the driving forces behind huge rolling strikes that have gripped Colombia in the past week. TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady demanded his release. She branded his detention "on the catch-all charge of 'rebellion,' used to imprison countless trade unionists without charge over the years, is a sign that little has changed in Colombia." The timing of his arrest, "as a strike wave grows and Huber is due to travel abroad to win international support, is nothing short of predictable," Ms O'Grady said. The protests reflect the anger over the effects of right-wing economic policies including a free trade deal with the EU that came into force on August 1. President Juan Manuel Santos has publicly shrugged off the strikes but the police crackdown has been brutal. Around 200 protesters have been arrested and 100 injured in the past week. Blockades and walkouts that began on August 19 among agricultural workers have since spread to the health, transport, mining, energy and oil sectors. Teaching unions were set to meet today to discuss joining the industrial action. Justice for Colombia's Mariela Kohon said Mr Ballesteros's arrest was "an act of intimidation against the strikers." She said: "What we fear is that this is the start of a witch-hunt of all the leaders of the opposition and the trade union movement." Ms Kohon said the campaigning group would be raising the issue at "the highest level" in Britain, which is a key backer of the country's military.
