The Bolivarian National Intelligence Service has released photos of mercenaries of the private military company “Silvercorp USA”, who were detained while trying to penetrate into Venezuela.
Luke Denman and Irene Berry are listed as instructors. The detention of two U.S. citizens was announced personally by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. The Americans are currently in custody.
As previously reported by News Front, May 3, a group of militants from Colombia tried to land on the coast of Venezuela. According to Venezuelan law enforcement officials, the mercenaries were to commit a series of terrorist attacks in the republic, eliminate the head of state and organize a coup d’etat. The Venezuelan military prevented the landing. So, to date, 13 people have been detained.
