CUBA has branded the attack on the electricity system which left large parts of its ally Venezuela without power as an act of terrorism.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro announced the details of the sabotage, describing Thursday’s attack on the electrical system the “cruellest blow in the history of the country.”
He dismissed claims made by regime change advocate US Senator Marco Rubio that the country’s own government was responsible for the power cuts, saying he had evidence of sabotage.
