On Sunday, Venezuela’s former vice president accused the country’s opposition of buying 18 war planes, which he claims will soon be taken to a US military base in Colombia.


During his weekly television show, Jose Vicente Rangel, who is the former defense secretary and foreign minister to Hugo Chavez, made the allegations that Venezuela’s opposition have bought 18 war planes in preparation for an attack against the nation.

“[The opposition] is preparing an armed attack on Venezuela with the participation of mercenaries,” Rangel declared.

According to the ex-vice president, the Venezuelan opposition closed the deal on May 27th in San Antonio, Texas. Rangel claimed the planes will be transferred to the base in Colombia by November and even disclosed the coordinates of the location of the military base.
