CARACAS (Reuters) - U.N. human rights chief Michelle Bachelet, who was wrapping up an official visit to Venezuela on Friday, will leave two delegates behind to monitor the country's deepening humanitarian crisis, opposition leader Juan Guaido said.

Bachelet, who arrived in Caracas on Wednesday for a three-day visit, did not speak publicly after meeting with Guaido on Friday morning, a day after separate talks with representatives of his arch foe, President Nicolas Maduro.
