Five people died and 233 were arrested in protests sparked by a failed military uprising against Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro last week, Attorney General Tarek William Saab said on Monday.A small number of military personnel on April 30 joined opposition leader Juan Guaido outside an air base in the capital Caracas calling on those inside to join the rebellion.
Saab, a Maduro loyalist, confirmed that 18 arrest warrants were issued against"civilians and military plotters", although he gave no names. Maduro has threatened to go after"traitors" after crisis-wracked Venezuela's military leadership reaffirmed its loyalty to the socialist president. Venezuela lurched into a political crisis in January when National Assembly speaker Guaido challenged Maduro's authority by declaring himself acting president.
