"The US military is holding two individuals aboard a Navy ship in the Caribbean after two others on their vessel were killed in a targeted US strike, sources told news agencies on Friday. The US has conducted several strikes on what it calls "narcoterrorist" vessels off the coast of Venezuela since September, with US President Donald Trump accusing Venezuela's President Nicholas Maduro of heading a global drug cartel."
"Trump: Maduro 'doesn't want to F around with the United States' Thursday's attack is believed to be the sixth US attack on "narco" boats off the coast of Venezuela with the Trump administration claiming to have liquidated 28 individuals in its effort and causing experts to question the legality of such extrajudicial killings, even if the individuals targeted are who the administration claims."
Two individuals are being held aboard a US Navy ship in the Caribbean after a targeted US strike killed two others on the same vessel. The US has carried out multiple strikes on vessels it labels "narcoterrorist" off Venezuela since September. President Trump described the target as a "drug-carrying submarine" and accused President Nicolás Maduro of leading a global drug cartel. Reuters reported Navy helicopters rescued the two survivors. The administration says 28 people have been killed in the campaign, prompting legal questions about extrajudicial killings and demands for evidence. The US has redeployed military assets to the Caribbean and authorized covert CIA operations amid Caracas' accusations of a US-led regime change effort.
