Nicolás Maduro warns of psychological warfare against Venezuela . M . GUTIÉRREZ / EFE Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has countered reports of an incipient epidemic in the country by accusing the opposition of engaging in underhand tactics . “ They tried to impose a campaign of psychological warfare on Venezuela , a combination of alarmism and war , ” said Maduro . “ There is no other term for this but psychological warfare . ” What ’ s more , the Bolivarian leader – who is the political heir of the deceased former president Hugo Chávez – went further and asked the World Health Organization to help investigate alleged attempts to introduce “ some sort of virus ” into the country as part of “ biological warfare . ” Patients at the Maracay Hospital are dying in the space of 72 hours due to massive hemorrhaging The latest cause for concern involves Maracay Hospital , located around two hours from Caracas , where it emerged last Thursday that some patients were displaying worrying symptoms . “ We don ’ t know what it is we are facing , ” said Angel Sarmiento , president of the Medical Association of Aragua , the state where the hospital is located . “ We don ’ t know if it is a virus or a bacteria . ” The physician added that patients were dying in the space of 72 hours due to a massive hemorrhage , and he recommended that people avoid going to that hospital . The government reacted to this statement by calling Sarmiento “ a fascist ” and “ a terrorist . ” The governor of Aragua , Tareck El Aissami , filed a complaint against him before the Attorney ’ s Office , claiming that there are no dangerous bacteria at the hospital and discrediting Sarmiento because he is a member of the opposition . But the Medical Federation of Venezuela has come out in support of Sarmiento . “ How long will this routine go on ? Every time someone tells this government the truth in connection with a disease , an economic problem or a security issue , that person automatically becomes a coup - plotter , ” said Douglas Nátera , president of the federation . Health Minister Nancy Pérez , who has held that portfolio for just a few days , made a public statement on Wednesday to address the growing social alarm . “ The main thing is that there is no strange virus right now . The moment some disease crops up , the people of Venezuela will know about it , because it is not state policy to conceal information but rather to disclose it and to take the necessary measures . ” For every patient diagnosed with Chikungunya , there could be as many as 1 , 000 more Yet the minister admitted to 45 , 745 confirmed cases of dengue fever and 398 more of the Chikungunya virus , which causes acute joint pains and is also spread by mosquitoes . Another 1 , 200 patients are under observation . But Rafael Arreaza , a surgeon and former director of Venezuela ’ s Social Security service , questioned the minister ’ s figures and filed a complaint against the government with the Ombudsman . Arreaza said that for every patient diagnosed with Chikungunya , there could be as many as 1 , 000 more , and that the lack of lab material is preventing health workers from knowing the true magnitude of the problem . This former health official also said that 12 of the victims who died were showing similar symptoms , suggesting the need to find out whether the virus is mutating . In the face of this mounting pressure , President Maduro said he will take national and international legal action against any physician but also against any journalist , media outlet or individual who contributes to disseminating this theory through words or images .

DJI responds to drone attacks : “ We have limited ability to control what people do with our products ” The world ’ s largest drone manufacturer , DJI , has issued a statement after two of their drones armed with explosives were used in an apparent assassination attempt against Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro last week . The drones in question appeared to be Matrice 600s ; commercial - level UAVs intended for aerial photography and costing around $ 5000 each . The Venezuelan government claims that each Matrice was packed with a kilo of C4 and were intended to kill Maduro and other important Venezuelan political figures . https : / / www . wetalkuav . com / wp - content / uploads / 2018 / 08 / 1024x576_MP4_4439375926361635711 . mp4 A video of the drone exploding from media at the event DJI spoke with Dezeen magazine and told them that " DJI makes products purely for peaceful purposes . " " While we build some prudent safety and security features into our products , we have limited ability to control what people do with them . " They stated that the overwhelming majority of DJI drone operators use their drones peacefully , and they " deplore any use of our products to bring harm to anyone . " " As with any technology , if people decide to misuse our products in any way , they have to be responsible for their actions , " they said . Two DJI Matrice 600 ’ s were seemingly used in an attack against President Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela last week . Who was responsible for the drone attacks and why did they fail ? It is , as yet , unclear who exactly was reponsible for the attacks . One group calling themselves ‘ Soldiers in T - shirts ‘ claimed responsibility on Twitter . Maduro alleged Venezuela ’ s ultra - right in alliance with Colombia ’ s ultra - right and their outgoing president , Juan Manuel Santos were behind the assassination attempt . The Venezuelan government has used the attacks as justification for a further crackdown on political opponents and have arrested at least 6 people . Neither drone ultimately made it to their intended targets . According to Venezuela ’ s Attorney General , this was because they were deflected from reaching their intended course through protective radio emissions eminating from Venzuelan intelligence personnel ( similar to drone killing devices we ’ ve written about previously ) . Video footage from multiple angles since the attack suggest that one drone exploded above the soldiers on parade ( causing 7 injuries ) while the other crashed into the window of an apartment , causing the apartment to catch fire ( this was initially reported in some outlets as the result of gas explosion ) . The website Bellingcat has an excellent rundown of all evidence related to the drone attack including video footage and photos from multiple angles , if you ’ re interested . A soldier injured by the exploding drone at the Venezualan National Guard celebration parade in Caracas Despite some claims in media , it seems unlikely the government would stage an attack against itself . As the Economist noted , " Dictators depend on projecting an image of omnipotence … in the television footage , Mr Maduro looked befuddled ; the massed ranks of the National Guard broke discipline and ran off in panic . " In essence , the attacks made Maduro look weak , not strong . False flag operations have happened throughout history but thus far , this does not appear to be one of them .

Mariana Zuñiga Special for USA TODAY CARACAS , Venezuela — Venezuelan election officials said 8 million people voted Sunday to create a constitutional assembly endowing President Nicolás Maduro with virtually unlimited powers , a vote total decried by domestic and foreign critics as a sham . Venezuela ’ s National Electoral Council ' s estimated turnout Sunday was more than double that of political opponents and independent experts . Opposition leaders also said 12 people were killed in violence in the face of a massive presence of troops around the country on Sunday . The government confirmed nine deaths . Maduro , who faces a worsening economic crisis despite Venezuela ' s enormous oil reserves , seeks to establish a friendly assembly that would bypass the opposition - controlled Congress to rewrite the country ’ s 1999 constitution . Opponents accuse him of trying to create a single - party , authoritarian system like that in Cuba . Electoral Council President Tibisay Lucena announced just before midnight Sunday that turnout was 41 . 53 % , or 8 , 089 , 320 people . The count was met with mockery and anger from members of the opposition , who said they believed between 2 million and 3 million people voted . Julio Borges , president of the opposition - led National Assembly , said only 7 % of the electorate had voted — a silent protest of Maduro ' s power grab , which would slam the brakes on democracy . The opposition had urged voters to boycott the vote , but millions of Venezuelans who hold government jobs were ordered to cast ballots or risk being fired . Others feared loss of social benefits like subsidized food . “ I ’ m here because I ’ m hoping for housing , ” admitted hairdresser Luisa Marquez , 46 , as she waited in line to vote . Opinion polls had indicated that more than two - thirds of the nation opposed the president ' s move . The opposition said 7 million had voted against constitutional changes in a referendum it had organized a week ago . A midday check of 10 polling places here in the capital Sunday showed most of them empty or nearly empty . “ Venezuela has screamed with its silence , ” said Borges , who put the day ' s death toll at 12 . The public prosecutor ' s office confirmed nine deaths . Maduro ' s vision of a new constitution to consolidate his power has drawn ire in Washington . Last week , the Trump administration imposed sanctions on 13 senior Venezuelan officials , and the White House and some U . S . lawmakers said stiffer sanctions could follow . Mexico said it would support U . S . sanctions , and the Organization of American States and the European Parliament have also expressed support for the opposition . Late Sunday , the U . S . State Department officially condemned the Venezuelan government for holding the vote , saying Maduro ' s bid to consolidate power would “ undermine the Venezuelan people ’ s right to self - determination . ” U . N . Ambassador Nikki Haley has called the vote a “ sham election . ” In Venezuela , opposition leaders refused to put up candidates , arguing that the election has been structured to ensure that Maduro ’ s ruling socialist party dominates . Thus virtually all the more than 5 , 000 candidates for 545 assembly seats are Maduro supporters . The opposition vowed to protest despite a ban on public gatherings issued by Maduro . In some parts of the capital , people took to the streets in protest against the vote , but they were soon repelled by security forces throwing tear gas .

Third Friend of Accused Boston Bomber Indicted BOSTON — A third college friend of accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was indicted on charges he lied to federal investigators , the U . S . Attorney General for Massachusetts said in a statement on Thursday . Robel Phillipos , 19 , was one of the three people who removed a backpack full of fireworks and a laptop from Tsarnaev ' s dormitory room at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth days after the April 15 attack , and later lied about it , prosecutors claim . The two other students , Dias Kadyrbayev and Azamat Tazhayakov — both from Kazakhstan — have already been indicted on obstruction charges and detained pending trial . They have pleaded not guilty . Tsarnaev and his brother Tamerlan , ethnic Chechens , are believed to have set off a pair of homemade pressure - cooker bombs at the world - renowned marathon ' s finish line , killing three people and maiming scores of others in one of the worst attacks on U . S . soil since Sept . 11 , 2001 . Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in a shootout with police a few days after the bombing . Dzhokhar was captured and imprisoned pending trial on terrorism charges . According to the indictment against Phillipos , Dzhokhar Tsarnaev sent a text message to Kadyrbayev on April 18 , shortly after the FBI published pictures of the bombing suspects , asking his friend to go to his “ room and take what ' s there . ” The three men allegedly took the laptop , backpack and other items from Tsarnaev ' s room later that day and put them in a dumpster in nearby New Bedford . Investigators later recovered the items from a landfill , according to the indictment . Phillipos , along with Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov , concealed his actions during interviews with federal investigators between April 19 and April 25 , according to the indictment . “ In so doing , he made numerous false and misleading statements to the agents , ” according to the statement from the office of U . S . Attorney General for Massachusetts Carmen Ortiz . Phillipos , who has been under house arrest since May , faces up to 16 years in prison if convicted . Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov face up to 25 years in jail or deportation .

SURREY , British Columbia — A Boston Marathon - style attack on Canada Day festivities Monday was disrupted when the Mounties nabbed an al - Qaeda - inspired couple and seized pressure cooker bombs , police said . John Stewart Nuttall and Amanda Marie Korody were inspired by al - Qaeda ideology but were self - radicalized , Royal Canadian Mounted Police Assistant Commissioner James Malizia said yesterday . He called it a domestic threat without international connections . Malizia said there was no evidence to suggest a link to the deadly Boston Marathon bombings in April . But the plot outlined by the RCMP appears to parallel the case in Boston , where federal prosecutors say the Tsarnaev brothers learned how to make pressure cooker bombs from an online al - Qaeda magazine , and downloaded Islamic extremist texts meant to inspire lone wolves who operate on their own initiative . Nuttall and Korody were arrested on Monday , the same day that thousands attended the Canada Day celebrations at the provincial legislature in Victoria . Police said the bombs were found outside the legislature before the crowds gathered . “ This self - radicalized behavior was intended to create maximum impact and harm to Canadian citizens at the B . C . legislature on a national holiday , ” RCMP Superintendent Wayne Rideout said . “ They took steps to educate themselves and produce explosive devices designed to cause injury and death . ” Police said a tip from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service led to a five - month investigation . Rideout said the pair discussed a wide variety of targets and techniques .

A Canadian academic was charged in Paris on Saturday over the deadly 1980 bombing of a Paris synagogue , the man ’ s lawyer said . University professor Hassan Diab , a Canadian of Lebanese descent , appeared before an anti - terror judge just hours after arriving from Montreal after losing a six - year legal battle against extradition . The October 3 , 1980 , bombing of a synagogue on rue Copernic in Paris killed four people and marked the first fatal attack against the French Jewish community since the Nazi occupation in World War II . Get The Times of Israel ' s Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories Free Sign Up The 60 - year - old sociologist had been fighting his extradition to avoid what he said would be an unfair prosecution in France for a crime he insists he did not commit . Diab ’ s extradition came after Canada ’ s supreme court refused on Thursday to hear his final plea to halt the procedure . Diab was arrested at his home in an Ottawa suburb in November 2008 at the request of French authorities who alleged he was a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine . The extremist group pioneered armed jetliner hijackings in the 1960s and was believed to be behind a string of deadly attacks in Europe , including the Paris bombing . Canada ’ s justice minister signed an order in April 2012 to send Diab to France after a Canadian court approved his extradition , despite its concerns that the French case was “ weak ” . Diab has said he has “ absolutely no connection whatsoever to the terrible 1980 attack , ” while his legal team argued he should not be extradited because a conviction in Canada would be unlikely . Synagogue packed That attack on the synagogue happened on a Friday evening , the eve of the Jewish sabbath when it was packed with some 300 worshipers . Ten kilograms of explosives packed in the saddlebags of a parked motorcycle were detonated and the ensuing blast killed three Frenchmen and a young Israeli woman and wounded some 40 people . Police first focused on the far right as possible perpetrators of the bombing before turning their attention to extremist groups in the Middle East , but made no headway in the case for years . The probe was relaunched in October 2007 to gain information from the United States on Diab , who had spent several years in the country . Diab became a Canadian citizen in 2006 and is now the father of a nearly two - year - old girl with his common - law wife . He has claimed that he was studying in Beirut at the time of the bombing and has said that he had been confused with someone with the same name . Diab ’ s lawyers in Canada have mainly sought to discredit what they called “ fatally flawed ” handwriting analysis of a Paris hotel slip that French authorities say was signed in the same false identity that was also presented to purchase the motorcycle used in the bombing . Diab ’ s lawyers have said that the fingerprint evidence does not match Diab ’ s and that the person who signed the hotel slip was described by witnesses as being middle - aged , whereas Diab would have been 26 at the time .

Boston Marathon Bomber Caught , Town Celebrates “ We got him ! ” That was heard on the streets of Boston Friday night as police captured the second suspect in the Boston marathon bombings . The mayor was heard congratulating police over their two - way radios . And the tension that gripped Boston since Monday ' s blasts changed to celebration . Jubilation erupted in the streets of Watertown , Massachusetts . For every police vehicle , there was drive - by congratulations after nearly 24 hours of gunshots , explosions and lockdowns . Suspect number 2 in the marathon bombings rode inside this ambulance , injured , on the way to the hospital and jail . “ When I saw the guy ' s face in the ambulance , I thought , ' They got him alive . ' That ' s really important , ” said Anthony Pelton , a Watertown taxidriver . Police found 19 - year - old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev inside a boat in the backyard of a house , not too far from where he lived .

Suspect number 1 , Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed during a gunbattle with police Thursday night in the same town . But the younger Tsarnaev escaped . Thousands of police began a massive manhunt , blocking streets in the neighborhood and ordering residents to stay in their homes .

With local journalists on strike , pictures and accounts from the night can often seem somewhat sparce . Here ' s his account of that terrible evening , as told to Carl Chinn . November 21 , 1974 was a night I shall never forget . My memories of that night have not changed , they have remained with me . Working as a press photographer for the National news agency , The Press Association I was requested earlier in the day to cover the funeral arrangements of a Provisional IRA terrorist , James McDade at Birmingham Airport . A week earlier he had blown himself up when he tried to plant a bomb at the Coventry Telephone Exchange in Little Park Street . There had been a feeling of high tension after the Coventry incident . Indeed , there had been a spate of terrorist activities in the Midlands leading up to the Birmingham pub bombings . At the airport , cargo staff refused to load McDade ' s coffin on a Belfast bound flight where he was to be buried . Hundreds of police surrounded the terminals searching everyone entering the building and the car parking areas . Eventually it was agreed on compassionate grounds to have his body flown to Dublin . My films of the activities at the airport were handed to a dispatch rider for processing at the Press Association office in Fleet Street . My first impression when I arrived in the Bull Ring was like the Blitz all over again , broken plate glass windows littered the surrounding streets , people were running all over the place , I must have got there within minutes of the explosions . I carried two Pentax cameras loaded with black and white film when I entered the Mulberry Bush . It was a scene of total carnage , bodies all over the place which were covered with debris and rafters from the ceiling and the floor above , the whole interior of the pub was ripped apart . As I tried to tread discreetly amongst the rubble and broken furniture I was unable to find anyone who might possibly be still alive . Firemen rushed in to remove the unfortunate victims away . One of them tapped me on the shoulder to say that another bomb had gone off in the crowded basement of the Tavern in the Town pub . It was there that I took a flash picture of Birmingham fireman Ralph Dawes with a young lad in shirtsleeves who were carrying bodies in red canvas sheets . I saw many people fleeing in all directions from the devastation caused by the bombs , which exploded within two minutes of each other . There was a young lady in a bloodstained dress sitting stunned on a kerbstone outside the Odeon Cinema . At the entrance of the cinema a number 90 Birmingham Corporation bus with a destination blind showing Pheasey Estate Great Barr who had just stopped to pick up passengers . The extreme force of the blast caused all the windows of the bus to be blown out injuring many people . There wasn ' t a shop window in New Street leading from the Rotunda to Corporation Street which wasn ' t affected . I recall vividly the numerous burglar alarms which were set off and the flashing blue emergency lights of the convoy of fire engines and ambulances . At one stage the ambulances were stuck in the congestion . The black cabs came to the rescue by ferrying some of the injured to the General Hospital in Steelhouse Lane . For two hours I continued to take pictures of the horrible unfolding events . Time was getting late and I needed to get my films back to the office . So I decided to make my way on foot to Digbeth Coach Station to hire a cab . Normally I would have processed my films at the Birmingham Post and Mail and wired the prints to Fleet Street . However the National Union of Journalists were on strike . Taxis were hard to hire , however , I managed to persuaded a driver to deliver my films direct to Fleet Street . Six pictures were released to all the National newspapers , the provincial press and television newsrooms in the U . K . during the early hours of the following morning . Under the severe circumstances the journalists called off their strike making it possible to bring out an emergency edition of the Birmingham Evening Mail .
