Venezuela Detains Foreign Nationals Amid Allegations of Assassination Plot Against President Maduro

Venezuela's government has announced the arrest of six foreign nationals, including three Americans, two Spaniards, and a Czech citizen, accusing them of being involved in a CIA-related plot to assassinate President Nicolas Maduro and destabilize the country. This includes the detention of an active-duty U.S. Navy SEAL. The accusations have prompted reactions from the U.S., Spain, and the Czech Republic, all of which are seeking information on their citizens. The U.S. government has categorically denied any involvement in the alleged plot, dismissing the claims as false. Meanwhile, Venezuela is maintaining that the arrests are part of a major operation to dismantle what it describes as a CIA-backed coup attempt.
