Venezuela says 4th American arrested over alleged "plot" against Maduro

Venezuela said Tuesday it had arrested a fourth U.S. citizen over what it claims was a plot to assassinate President Nicolás Maduro in the aftermath of elections the opposition claims he stole.

The American was arrested in Caracas after "taking photos of electrical installations, oil facilities, military units," Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello said. Three other U.S. citizens, two Spaniards and a Czech have also been arrested in Venezuela in recent weeks.

Cabello told the National Assembly the man was "part of the plot against Venezuela, the plot against our country," which he said included a plan to "assassinate President Nicolás Maduro" and others, including himself.
