The United States has denied involvement in the reported assassination attempt on Nicolas Maduro as the Venezuelan president places blame on the opposition and Colombian counterpart Juan Manuel Santos for the alleged plot against his life. Venezuela's far-left government said seven soldiers were wounded by the alleged attack using explosive-laden drones during a military parade in Caracas on Saturday. Maduro pointed the finger at outgoing Colombian President Santos and 'the ultra-right wing,' a term he uses to describe domestic opposition, as a mysterious rebel group claimed responsibility. US national security advisor John Bolton insisted there was 'no US government involvement' and even suggested that the incident could have been 'a pretext set up by the regime itself'.
