Venezuela says it has arrested six foreigners, including a US Navy SEAL, for an alleged plot to “destabilize” the country that has been in crisis since disputed elections earlier this year.
Interior minister Diosdado Cabello claimed that the alleged plot was led by the CIA, and aimed at assassinating the country’s leader Nicolás Maduro. The US State Department rejected the claim as “categorically false.”
In a news conference, Cabello identified the purported Navy SEAL .....and claimed he was the leader of the operation.
Venezuelan authorities have also seized 400 US rifles linked to the alleged plot, he said. [Mauricio Torres, CNN]
