(6 Aug 2018) Thousands of supporters of President Nicolas Maduro marched through the Venezuelan capital on Monday in a bid to show the country remains united around him after the alleged assassination attempt on Saturday.
Public employees were required to attend the pro-government rallies to ensure a strong show of support.
President of the government-owned transport company 'Metro de Caracas' said its employees will remain committed and supportive of Maduro.
Authorities say they have now captured all those behind the attack using two drones armed with explosives.
The names of those detained have not been released, but a senior legal official said the six people arrested could face charges including treason, attempted homicide and terrorism.
The attack came as Venezuela's economic woes continue and thousands flee to neighbouring Colombia seeking food and medical care.
Meanwhile, Maduro has grown increasingly isolated, with the United States and other foreign powers slapping economic sanctions on a growing list of high-ranking Venezuelan officials and decrying his government as an autocratic regime.
