Caracas, March 5 (RHC)-- Together with Venezuela’s opposition, Colombia -- along with the United States government -- is planning a new false flag operation along the Colombian border, according to socialist leader and protector of the Venezuelan state of Tachira, Freddy Bernal.

In a televised interview on the Venezuelan TV program HOY, Bernal said: "I have direct information from officers of the Colombian National Police that other attacks are coming along the Colombian-Venezuelan border and they are trying to twist the false flag by saying that Venezuela is going to attack Colombia."

The socialist leader told journalist Jose Vicente, the host of HOY, that the false flag operation will bring troops to the border for military exercises like those prevented from entering Venezuela over the last weeks.

Mercenaries and defectors from the Bolivarian army will be receiving training and equipment in preparation for the alleged attack, similar to the one executed February 23 when ex-militants and members of the opposition attempted to transfer U.S.’”humanitarian aid” to Venezuela from Colombia.

Bernal said: "They are already arming and are going to attack our Venezuelan military and our political leaders here on Venezuela's side of the border.  I want to warn the international community that a mode of war is being prepared against Venezuela aimed at causing internal chaos through the incursion of paramilitaries, mercenaries and some traitors."
