CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela chief prosecutor Tarek Saab said on Tuesday that two high-ranking military officers were linked to drone explosions during a speech by President Nicolas Maduro this month, adding the pair had been presented in court on Monday.

Venezuela's leftist government has accused opposition politicians of scheming to assassinate Maduro with explosives-laden drones.
