Venezuela's Maduro claims 'senior FBI official' among 'mercenaries' arrested

Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro claimed Wednesday a "senior FBI official" was among seven foreign "mercenaries" arrested in the days leading up to his swearing-in for a third term widely viewed as illegitimate.

The other American in the group arrested Tuesday was a "senior military official," Maduro said on state TV, a day after announcing that seven "mercenaries" had been arrested for plotting unspecified "terrorist" acts.
