RIO DE JANEIRO - Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has condemned a Sunday attack on a military base in the country, calling it a "terror act on the armed forces." The early morning attack, which Maduro claimed saw two people die and one person injured, targeted a coastal military base in Venezuela. The majority of the seven arrested for the attack were soldiers from "ultra-right" groups, the socialist president said on his own television show "Domingos con Maduro." Maduro alleged that those involved were supported with money from the United States and Colombia, calling them "mercenaries and terrorists." Caguaripano went into hiding in 2014 after declaring an uprising against Maduro and was excluded from the military.
