Venezuela claimed it captured a “mercenary group” linked to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) on Sunday, and accused them of aiming to spark a military conflict with the South American country.
“A false flag attack is underway in waters bordering Trinidad and Tobago or from Trinidadian or Venezuelan territory to generate a full military confrontation with our country,” Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez said in a statement.
Rodriguez claimed the mercenary group was captured “with direct information of the American intelligence agency, CIA.”
