Venezuela Supreme Court attacked with grenade thrown from police helicopter in 'terrorist' act

Venezuela's Supreme Court has been attacked with a grenade thrown from a police helicopter in what the country's president, Nicolas Maduro, described as a "terrorist attack".


Speaking on state TV, the 54-year-old embattled leader said special forces were hunting those behind the attack, which follows three months of opposition protests and some dissent from within government ranks.

Reports said the grenade aimed at the court did not explode. The helicopter was also seen flying over the interior ministry, Mr Maduro said.
