The U.S. State Department confirms that three Americans, including a U.S. service member, have been detained in Venezuela, accused in an alleged plot to assassinate President Nicolás Maduro. The Venezuelan government also says two Spaniards and a Czech have been detained under the same accusations.
In a statement obtained by Fox News Digital, the State Department denied the allegations with spokesman Matt Miller saying "any claims of U.S. involvement in a plot to overthrow Maduro are categorically false." Miller confirmed the detention of the service member and said the State Department was aware of "unconfirmed reports" that Venezuelan authorities detained two additional Americans.
