“Three US citizens, including Navy SEAL, arrested in Venezuela for alleged involvement in Maduro assassination plot” – The Express Tribune

Three US citizens, including a Navy SEAL, have been arrested in Venezuela over an alleged assassination plot targeting President Nicolas Maduro. The individuals were apprehended by Venezuelan authorities as they allegedly attempted to carry out the plan to overthrow the government.

The Navy SEAL, identified as Luke Denman, was reportedly leading the group of mercenaries hired to execute the operation. The other two individuals involved have been named as Airan Berry and Aaron Luke.

The trio was captured by Venezuelan security forces in the coastal town of Chuao, where they were allegedly preparing to launch an attack on the presidential palace in Caracas. President Maduro has accused the United States of backing the plot, claiming that the mercenaries were hired by an American security firm with ties to the US government.

The arrests have sparked international outrage, with the US government denying any involvement in the alleged assassination attempt. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has condemned the actions of the Venezuelan government, calling for the immediate release of the detained Americans.

The situation remains tense as both countries continue to trade accusations and threats. The fate of the three US citizens remains uncertain as they face charges of terrorism and conspiracy to overthrow the government. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
