Shock, disbelief in bombed Venezuelan portListen to this articleThe port of La Guaira was one of several areas in or near Caracas struck by jets during a stealth US mission to seize Venezuelan President Nicolas MaduroLA GUAIRA (VENEZUELA) - Twelve hours after the United States bombed Venezuela during an operation to oust President Nicolas Maduro, the smoke continued to seep from hangars in the port of La Guaira north of Caracas. La Guaira was one of several areas in or near Caracas struck by jets during a stealth mission to snatch Maduro and whisk him out of the country. Curious onlookers filmed the scene on their smartphones, many still incredulous at the speed and magnitude of the day's events. The blasts blew out the windows of public buildings on La Guaira's seafront and ripped the roofs off several houses. Unamuno's first thoughts were that La Guaira was experiencing another natural disaster, 26 years ago after a landslide of biblical proportions swept away 10,000 people, many of them washed out to sea.
