3 Americans Attempted To Overthrow Venezuela Government

(Scypre.com) – Three United States citizens were apprehended in Venezuela on suspicion of being involved in a plot aimed at destabilizing the country, Venezuelan Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello announced on Saturday.

The Venezuelan government alleges that the detained individuals are linked to an operation supported by the U.S. government, with Cabello further stating that these U.S. citizens are believed to be agents of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

“We have detained a U.S. military member and are aware of reports suggesting that two additional U.S. citizens have been detained in Venezuela,” a U.S. State Department spokesperson told ABC News. The spokesperson firmly denied any U.S. involvement in efforts to overthrow the Venezuelan government led by President Nicolás Maduro.

“Any claims of U.S. participation in a plot to overthrow Maduro are categorically false. The United States remains committed to supporting a democratic resolution to the political crisis in Venezuela,” the statement continued.

In addition to the three U.S. citizens, the Venezuelan Interior Minister revealed that two Spanish nationals and one individual from the Czech Republic were also arrested in connection with the alleged plot.
