Venezuela detains five more foreigners for plotting against the government

VENEZUELA detained five more foreigners in connection with what the government says is a plot to destabilise the country, the interior minister announced Thursday.

Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello did not say when the five people were detained. He said a Peruvian and a Bolivian citizen had been taken into custody along with the three US citizens 

Mr Cabello also said all “speak Spanish perfectly” and went around the country claiming to be “in love with Venezuela” and planning “to see their partner.”
