In a video posted online by the former US Special Forces. USA Jordan Goudreau and former Venezuelan National Guard officer Javier Nieto Quintero both launch the launch of “Operation Gideon.”
The video describes his attempts to detain members of the Maduro government and at the same time urges Venezuelan soldiers to join them in the fight, writes the Washington Post.
Before dawn on Sunday, the soldiers must have tried to enter the port city of La Guaira by boat, but were detained by authorities, who say eight of the attackers were killed.
“The country’s armed forces detained the attackers,” Interior Minister Néstor Reverol told the state television channel.
He calls the group “terrorists and mercenaries”.
He will associate with the rebels
According to the AP News Agency, dozens of former Venezuelan soldiers are being trained in secret camps in neighboring Colombia. The objective is to attack Venezuela and arrest Maduro.
In the video, Goudreau says his units have been located “south, west, and east of Venezuela,” and claims they still have about 60 men in the country.
Goudreau says he hopes to join the rebels soon, and invites Maduro’s troops to join the rebellion, although there were no signs of unrest in the capital or other parts of the country by nightfall.
Both Goudreau and Quintero live in Florida, according to the AP.
