Xinhua News Agency, Bogota, October 6 (Reporter Li Zijian, Tian Rui) Caracas News: Venezuelan President Maduro said on the 6th that Venezuela thwarted a "false flag" operation planned by a "local terrorist organization". The operation attempted to plant explosives in the U.S. Embassy in Venezuela to frame the Venezuelan government and further intensify the contradiction between Venezuela and the United States.

Maduro said in a television show in Venezuela on Friday that the U.S. security forces have strengthened security measures against the U.S. embassy.

A "false flag" operation refers to an operation in which one party disguises it as the work of the other party by creating trouble.

Venezuelan President Rodriguez said on Friday night that the government had discovered that far-right extremists in the opposition attempted to place bombs in the US embassy.

Rodriguez said in a statement on social media that it was a "fake flag" operation, the government has informed the U.S. government through multiple channels and has strengthened security measures around the U.S. embassy.

In 2019, as Trump publicly supported Venezuelan opposition member Guaidó¡¯s self-proclaim as ¡°interim president¡± during his first term as president, Venezuela has broken relations with the United States so far.

Since the beginning of September, the United States has deployed several warships in the Caribbean waters near Venezuela, claiming to have destroyed four so-called "drug ships" and killed 21 "drug traffickers".
