National guard troops patrol Altamira square after clashing with anti-government protesters in Caracas

National guard troops patrol Altamira square after clashing with anti-government protesters in Caracas March 14, 2014. Venezuela’s foreign minister lambasted U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Friday as a “murderer” fomenting unrest that has killed 28 people in the South American OPEC member nation. Since street demonstrations began against President Nicolas Maduro’s socialist government in early February, Venezuelan officials have been accusing Washington of stirring the country’s worst political troubles in a decade.
