Maduro urges vigilance against ‘last-minute terror threats’ from outgoing Colombian government

VENEZUELAN President Nicolas Maduro has urged the armed forces to remain vigilant over “last-minute terrorist threats” from the outgoing Ivan Duque government in Colombia.

He warned the new military commands of the potential for its neighbouring country to be used as a launch pad for operations aimed at destabilising Venezuela in the coming weeks. 

Mr Maduro told the police and armed forces they must be ready to counter-attack terrorist plans and defend “these times of recovery and growth that our beloved Venezuela is living.”
