Opposition asks Venezuelan government for explanation for helicopter crash

Antonio Ledezma, leader of opposition Alianza Bravo Pueblo (ABP) party, asked on Monday the Venezuelan government to give an explanation for the Venezuelan helicopter that plunged into the land in Bolivia, killing four Venezuelan militaries and one Bolivian officer.

The Venezuelan Super Puma military helicopter used to transport Bolivian President Evo Morales during his frequent trips to the provinces.

"Not only a million-dollar aircraft was lost; but four Venezuelans lost their lives. There was an accident of a Venezuelan helicopter dedicated to President Evo Morales," said Ledezma. "Why does a Venezuelan helicopter intervenes in Bolivia? Why was it appointed to President Evo Morales? he wondered.
