SIX foreign nationals have been arrested in Venezuela after officials accused them of coming to the South American country to assassinate President Nicolas Maduro.

Mr Cabello said the accused were part of what he described as a “United States Central Intelligence Agency-led plot” to overthrow the Venezuelan government and kill several members of its leadership.
