CARACAS, Sept 4 — Venezuelan Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello accused the United States yesterday of committing 11 extrajudicial murders after US forces attacked a speedboat.
Washington claims the vessel belonged to criminal gang Tren de Aragua and was transporting drugs from Venezuela, with President Donald Trump posting video of the strike and the ensuing explosion.
“They murdered 11 people without due process. I ask whether this can be done,” Cabello said on his weekly television program. — AFP

ReplyDeleteWhen Bully bom Hooter's pirate boats in the Red Sea did anyone bang table, asking "Is That Legal", "Where is the Due Process" or say "Thank You for protecting merchant shipping".

mfer, where is yr mfering consistency with that rule based international order as so championed by dickheads like u?
DeleteCan't read & act blur when been confronted!
At least the Houthi attacks were been made known to all & sundry with clear demarcation of reasons - is ships associated with anything zionist state.
Where r the warnings purposely given for shoot to kill in international water by the yank?
Ain't there supposedly proven factd about that ship been shot carried drugs by known cartel?
Yet, totally NOTHING. Just shoot to kill, as if it was done at their pleasure!
Totally not in the league of a master nation!
Proif of Houthis Kerbau about attacking only ships relevant to Israel.
DeleteOn July 7, Houthi naval forces attacked a Greek-owned, Liberian-flagged commercial vessel, MV Eternity C, just west of Hodeidah. UKMTO reported that a small craft deploying multiple rocket propelled grenades fired on the vessel just west of Hodeidah. The Houthis issued a statement that naval drones and six cruise and ballistic missiles attacked the ship. The attacks continued on July 8 and the ship sank on July 9.
Eternity C had a crew of 25. Reuters reported that four crew members may have been killed. The vessel’s Greek operator reported on July 10 that 10 crew members had been rescued at sea. Of the 11 members unaccounted for, 6 are believed to be in Houthi custody. An act of piracy.
Magic Seas was en route to Turkey from China and was carrying fertilizer and steel billets, while the Eternity C was en route to Saudi Arabia from Somalia after delivering humanitarian aid for the United Nations World Food Programme.
