3 mayo 2020 año - Venezuela 'foils coup attempt'

Descripción:

Venezuela says it thwarted an armed incursion on Sunday by “mercenaries who organized and trained in Colombia,” killing eight people and capturing two others as they attempted to arrive on the country’s coast via speedboat.

“This was an attempt to invade our coasts by a group of mercenary terrorists,” Minister Nestor Reverol said on state TV. “The goal was to commit terrorist acts, kill government leaders, and end in a coup.”

Former American Green Beret Jordan Goudreau claimed responsibility for the attack in a video posted online alongside exiled Venezuelan soldier Javier Nieto. (Telegraph)
