_An unspecified group of “mercenaries” were caught trying to enter Venezuela along its Northern coast near the capital Caracas and were
stopped by security forces, Interior Minister Nestor Reverol said._

_The boats came from neighboring Colombia and the plan was to
“assassinate leaders of the government” and create chaos, Reverol said
in comments on state television early Sunday, while adding that the
operation was ongoing and could include other points of attack. Some
people were killed while others were detained and assault rifles were confiscated, he said._

__

_“The plan was to commit terrorist acts in the country, assassinate
leaders of the revolutionary government and add to the spiral of
violence while generating chaos and confusion in the population and
attempt a new coup d’etat,” Reverol said._
