Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro said on Oct. 6 that security forces have been deployed to the shuttered U.S. embassy in Caracas following a potential threat posed by what he described as a right-wing extremist plot to conduct a false flag operation at the site.
The leader of the socialist regime said that he believed the alleged plot was intended to pin the blame on his government and escalate tensions between Venezuela and the United States.
