Venezuela Arrests 6 Foreigners, Incl. 3 U.S. Citizens, in Alleged Presidential Assassination Plot
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Venezuelan government has arrested six foreigners, including three
Americans, for allegedly being involved in a plot to destabilize the
country. Venezuela's Interior Ministry accused the six of being part of
a CIA-led effort aimed at assassinating Venezuelan President Nicolás
Maduro and other high-ranking officials. The U.S. State Department
rejected the claim, calling it "categorically false."
