“An officer was contacted by Colombia to steal an Iglas (personal missile launcher). That contact was made here at the border. So troops, be alert! ”, warned Cabello and added: “They were going to pay him 40 thousand dollars so that he would deliver the Iglas to take down a plane, generate a false positive and say that it had been the Venezuelan army to find a cause for war. Here we have their phone numbers and the messages.”
He stressed: “Luckily our officers are no longer a young army. It is an army formed, conscious, revolutionary. And when I say army, I say the Bolivarian National Guard, and I say the Bolivarian Military Aviation, and I say the Bolivarian Navy, and the I say Bolivarian National Militia, and I say the Bolivarian People. ”
