On preliminary interrogation, the two detainees revealed that they belong to a terrorist organization led by Jean Piero Osorio Ruiz, who is in the USA and is a member of a criminal organization called Liberation-Resistance Movement for Life and Peace (Movimiento Liberación-Resistencia avanzamos por la Vida y La Paz).
“The security forces are on alert,” Ceballos said to VTV on telephone. “On this occasion, in Táchira, where explosive material was found that could cause serious damage to human lives and public and private property.”
Ceballos added that with the detention of the two individuals, possible terrorist attacks in the Venezuelan territory have been averted. The detainees have also started to confess. “We remain alert for any action that may try to disrupt the peace of the Venezuelan people,” said the minister.
