Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro survives drone 'attack'

A drone loaded with explosives detonated near a military event where Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was giving a speech, but he escaped unharmed in what the embattled leader called an assassination attempt. Seven people were wounded on Saturday in the apparent attack, which came as Maduro celebrated the National Guard's 81st anniversary in the capital, Caracas. Maduro later said "everything points" to a right-wing plot that an initial investigation suggested was linked to Colombia and the US state of Florida, where many Venezuelan exiles live. Several perpetrators were caught, he said, without elaborating. "This was an assassination attempt, they tried to assassinate me," Maduro said in a televised address.
