CARACAS - Venezuelan state television broadcast on Wednesday a video of captured American Luke Denman, in which he said he was contracted by a Florida security firm to seize control of Caracas’ airport and bring in a plane to fly President Nicolas Maduro to the United States.
“Donald Trump is the direct chief of this invasion,” Maduro said during a televised virtual press conference, after the video of Denman was broadcast. “The administration remains focused on our policy objectives of achieving a peaceful, democratic transition in Venezuela,” the official said. “I was helping Venezuelans take back control of their country,” Denman, a former special operations forces member, said in the video.
Venezuelan authorities said they arrested the group by the isolated coastal town of Chuao, about 60 kilometers west of Caracas’ airport, after locals raised suspicions. Authorities published photos of what they said was the group’s boat, loaded with ammunition, weapons and communication equipment.
