Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa stated that last month was eventful for him, as he survived three alleged assassination attempts, the latest of which included gifts of jam and chocolate mixed with toxic chemicals.
Noboa's statement came during an interview with CNN's Fernando del Rincon, where he mentioned that the gifts contained "very high concentrations" of three chemicals, explaining that
"it is practically impossible for these substances to be together in these proportions unless they were deliberately added."
These claims come just weeks after another assassination attempt when crowds surrounded Noboa's car as he was traveling to an event in Canar province, hurling stones at it.
