Coup plan Foiled in Venezuela

An ex-air force general has been arrested and more than 10 other people implicated in a plot to overthrow Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro

The group planned to attack the presidential palace and other buildings, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said.

Congress head Diosdado Cabello said soldiers, opposition politicians and a businessman were involved

Many Venezuelans opposed to the government see the announcement of a coup d'etat as government spin intended to distract them from unpopular measures and economic problems
