    Aug 10 (Reuters) - Ecuador presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio, a vocal critic of corruption and organized crime, was killed on Wednesday evening during a campaign event in northern Quito.

    Argentina’s Vice President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner survived an apparent assassination attempt in September 2022 after a gunman threatened her at near point-blank range and the gun failed to discharge.

    During his first campaign trail in September 2018, far-right former Brazilian President Bolsonaro was stabbed.

    On a visit to an area near the Colombia-Venezuela border in June 2021, right-wing Colombian President Duque’s helicopter was struck by multiple bullets.

    Colombia’s now Vice President Marquez had a narrow escape in May 2019 before she ran for office, when attackers launched a grenade and shot at her and other environmental activists.

    Venezuelan President Maduro accused political foes of trying to kill him during an open-air speech in August 2018 by using explosive-laden drones in capital city Caracas.

        It cannot hallucinate! It takes sentences from the article and just sorts them by what it’s trained to perceive as important. Meaning the worst case scenario is the lines won’t be a good summary, but it can never make stuff up.
