Three Americans were arrested in Venezuela over an alleged plot to “destabilize” the country through “violent actions,” according to the Venezuelan government.
Venezuelan Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello alleged that those arrested, which included three Americans, two Spaniards, and one Czech national, were planning an attack on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and the Venezuelan government. He also claimed that they seized 400 rifles in connection to the alleged plot. One of the Americans is reportedly a Navy sailor who was detained in the country earlier this month while on personal travel.
