"President Donald Trump announced early January 3 that the U.S. has captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro after a series of late night airstrikes on Caracas, Venezuela's capital, carried out by the U.S. military. In a post on Truth Social, Trump boasted that the U.S. has "successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela" and said that Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, have been "captured and flown out of the country.""
"Attorney General Pam Bondi said that Maduro has been charged with "Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy," among other charges, in the Southern District of New York. She posted a copy of the indictment on social media. The reported kidnapping comes after the U.S. carried out late night airstrikes across Caracas, striking fear among the residents of the densely populated city. Reports say the strikes lasted about 30 minutes, and it's unclear whether there were casualties."
"The Associated Press reports that, according to Venezuelan ruling party leader Nahum Fernández, Maduro and his wife were captured from their home in the Fuerte Tiuna military installation, which was bombed in the wave of airstrikes. "There, they carried out what we could call a kidnapping of the president and the first lady of the country," said Fernández."
