After labeling the fires (see below) last Sunday in the Caracas military airport of La Carlota “an accident”, today the Minister of Defense said that this explosion, together with those in Fuerte Tiuna (The largest military facility in the country) were the result of terrorism. There was apparently a third incident at the same time, near the Presidential palace. In all cases, the explosions were caused by fragmentary grenades which are accessible only to the military, within either military facilities (La Carlota, Fuerte Tiuna) or heavily guarded areas (Palacio Blanco). What is difficult to understand is the silence by the Government. Not even the oppositionwas accused! In fact, it was the Minister of Defense that condemned the events. Suggestions are that these are explosions set by military personnel who are unhappy with the turn of events in the country and are threatening to continue if the recall referendum is not allowed to proceed.
Separately, local newspaper El Mundo, reported that there were actually two deaths in the La Carlota explosion and the Attorney General’s office was trying to investigate, it but was not being allowed to do so by military authorities.
