Newsweek<\/a> reports that an assassination order was issued by former Venezuelan military chief, Diosdado Cabello, to deal with outspoken US Senator Marco Rubio;<\/p>\n

There has been no comment from Rubio on the threat, nor suggestions as to why Rubio was targeted. However, the senator has been an outspoken voice from within the U.S. on Venezuela, and in particular on Cabello, whom Rubio has referred to as \u201cthe Pablo Escobar of Venezuela,\u201d while Cabello, in turn, has referred to Rubio as \u201cNarco Rubio.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From the Miami Herald<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The death threat was outlined in a memo to several law enforcement agencies disseminated last month by the Department of Homeland Security. The memo, designated \u201claw enforcement sensitive\u201d but not classified, was obtained by the Miami Herald.<\/p>\n

The memo revealed an \u201corder to have Senator Rubio assassinated,\u201d though it also warned that \u201cno specific information regarding an assassination plot against Senator Rubio has been garnered thus far\u201d and that the U.S. had not been able to verify the threat. That Cabello has been a vocal Rubio critic in Venezuelan media was also noted, a sign federal authorities are well aware of the political bluster complicating the situation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to the Herald, Cabello might have tried to contract certain Mexican assets to complete the order. The Herald also reported that Rubio’s personal security detail has been beefed up recently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
