Delta Force, the Army’s premier special operations unit, has just earned another testament to its deserved reputation as the world’s finest close-quarters battle special forces team.

In a remarkable operation overnight Friday-Saturday, Delta Force and, presumably, a small number of FBI-Hostage Rescue Team operators, helicoptered into the Venezuelan capital of Caracas and forcibly seized dictator President Nicolas Maduro. No Americans were killed, though some were wounded. Maduro and his wife are now being relocated to New York to stand trial in federal court on drug trafficking charges.
