This is John Bachelor.

Conversation with my colleagues Ernesta Arrujal, Joseph Umar.

On Reuters report from Chile, the Interior Minister of Chile is suggesting that a murder in Santiago

the man was a former regime member in Caracas, Venezuela, a member of the military, was kidnapped from his

room and found murdered, packed in a suitcase buried in cement, a horrible professional

crime. The Chilean Interior Minister is saying this

looks political and pointing a finger at Caracas. The dead officer was a member of the opposition to Madura.

Joseph takes this fact and very carefully explicates what it means

for the Madura regime regime or its partner ally sponsor Iran and for the

region Santiago is enraged. Here's Joseph Umar, about the murder of a former regime military officer in Venezuela,

found murdered in Santiago.

More of this tonight. on New World Report. Thank you. John, this is a very significant development and a very concerning escalation on the part of the

the Madura regime in Venezuela and the potential capabilities they have in other

countries to carry out these kind of targeted assassinations. A couple of things

is important to highlight about this specific operation.

The first is that this wasn't just a political opposition member.

This was a member of the military.

This was a person that defected from the Venezuelan Armed Forces.

And right now, I believe that one of the things that the

majority is specifically clamping down on is any dissent or defection from their

military as they're preparing to do operations against their neighbors they want to

make sure that their military is 100% intact
