Venezuelan president decides to mobilize 4.5 million militias over US threats
CARACAS, Aug 19, (Xinhua): Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said Monday that he has decided to mobilize 4.5 million civilian militias nationwide to thwart US threats of war against his country. Speaking at a meeting with governors and mayors from his ruling coalition, Maduro announced plans to strengthen rural and urban militias, as well as organize combat groups in factories and workplaces. He described the move as a "perfect fusion of people, police and armed forces" to guarantee the country's peace and sovereignty, saying "the people are prepared to resist any offensive." Maduro's announcement followed remarks by Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez, who accused Washington of trying to justify military actions in the Caribbean under the pretext of fighting drug trafficking. Earlier this month, US Attorney General Pamela Bondi offered a reward of 50 million US dollars for information leading to Maduro's arrest, accusing him of having links to international drug trafficking. Maduro has dismissed the allegations.

NEW DELHI, Aug 18, (Xinhua): Several schools in the Indian capital territory of Delhi received bomb threats on Monday, prompting authorities to rush police teams, fire services personnel and bomb disposal squads to these educational institutions, officials said. According to officials, four schools in Dwarka received threat emails from unknown senders and alerted the police. Immediately, bomb detection and disposal squads, dog squads, police and fire services personnel were rushed to these schools. "However, nothing suspicious was found. The threats proved to be hoax calls," a police official said. According to a local newspaper The Indian Express, 20 schools in Delhi received bomb threat emails on Monday morning, prompting authorities to conduct searches on their premises. Last month, many schools in the national capital also received similar bomb threat emails, which were later turned out to be a hoax. Last year, hoax threats triggered chaos in the airlines, schools, hospitals and hotels across the country.

QUITO, Aug 18, (Xinhua): Seven people were killed in a shooting that occurred in the northwestern Ecuadorian province of Santo Domingo de los Tsachilas on Sunday morning, said local media. Several gunmen in black arrived at a billiard hall early Sunday in Santo Domingo, capital of the province, and opened fire on people present, according to a media report. Local police cordoned off the crime scene after the incident. An initial investigation showed the deceased included a retired police officer and a suspected criminal gang leader nicknamed "Rasta." Located between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific coast and in the intersection of multiple drug trafficking routes, the province has seen frequent violent cases caused by gang conflicts.
