委內瑞拉總統：警方直升機襲擊最高法院

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said a stolen police helicopter fired on the country's Interior Ministry and Supreme Court on Tuesday in what he called a "terrorist attack" by those seeking to oust him from office.

Maduro vowed to catch those behind the attack, which had no reported injuries.

Minister of Communications and Information Ernesto Villegas later said the helicopter fired 15 shots at the ministry building and dropped at least four grenades at the Supreme Court.

Villegas identified the pilot as Oscar Perez. A video posted on social media showed Perez standing in front of several armed men and calling for a rebellion against Maduro's "tyranny," urging the president to step down and for Venezuela to hold new elections.

Some Maduro opponents speculated on social media that Tuesday's attack was staged to justify a crackdown.

Venezuela is one month from a vote on Maduro's plans to rewrite the constitution, which the president says is the only way to bring peace to the country while those opposing the move say it is meant to keep his party in power.委內瑞拉總統馬杜羅說，一架失竊的警方直升機星期二對委內瑞拉內政部和最高法院開火，他說這是“恐怖襲擊”，是那些想把他趕下臺的人乾的。

這次襲擊據報沒有造成人員傷亡，馬杜羅誓言要將肇事者繩之以法。

委內瑞拉信息和通訊部長比列加斯後來說，這架直升機對內政部大樓開了15槍，對最高法院投擲了至少四枚手榴彈。

比列加斯說，直升機駕駛員叫佩雷斯。社交媒體上的視頻顯示，佩雷斯站在一些武裝人員面前，呼籲反抗馬杜羅的“暴政”，敦促馬杜羅下臺，讓委內瑞拉舉行新選舉。

馬杜羅的一些反對者在社交媒體上猜測說，星期二的襲擊事件是有意安排的，目的是爲政府的鎮壓行動找藉口。

再過一個月的時間，委內瑞拉就要投票表決，是否按照馬杜羅的計劃修訂憲法。馬杜羅說，這是讓委內瑞拉恢復和平的唯一途徑，而反對者說，這樣做只是爲了讓馬杜羅的政黨繼續掌權。
