Venezuela arrests 6 foreigners over alleged plot to assassinate Maduro

Venezuela’s interior minister claimed that the country’s security forces foiled a CIA-backed plot to carry out terror attacks and assassinate President Maduro. Among the 6 suspects are 3 US nationals, including an alleged Navy SEAL. Washington denies any connection to the alleged assassination plan.
