US warships may reach Venezuela coast by weekend in drug cartel operation Three US warships to be stationed off the coast of Venezuela in so-called fight against ‘narco-terrorists’, according to reports. Sources told the Reuters and AFP news agencies on Wednesday that an amphibious squadron consisting of three US Aegis-class guided missile destroyers is heading to the waters off Venezuela and could arrive as early as Sunday. Two sources briefed on the deployment, and speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters that the USS San Antonio, USS Iwo Jima and USS Fort Lauderdale are moving towards the Venezuelan coast and are carrying 4,500 US service members, including 2,200 Marines. The sources declined to detail the specific mission of the squadron. But they have said that recent deployments are aimed at addressing threats to US national security from specially designated “narco-terrorist” organisations in the region. Maduro said on Monday that he would be deploying millions of militia members across Venezuela in response to US “threats”, which included the reward for his arrest and the launch of a new anti-drug operation in the Caribbean. Al Jazeera Looks like a repeat of the Panama kidnap mission. Noriega was kidnapped by the US since he was tipping off Castro to US military operations around Cuba.
