VENEZUELAN President Nicolas Maduro condemned a terrorist attack on a telecommunications company as the US ratcheted up the pressure imposing new sanctions in the latest bid to force him from office.

A warehouse belonging to the National Telephone Company of Venezuela (Cantv) and its affiliate Movilnet in the northern state of Carabobo was struck on Saturday night causing a fire and damage to strategic telecommunications equipment.
