Maduro In New York Jail, His Number 2 To Lead Venezuela

Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro was put in a New York jail on Saturday, hours after US forces captured him in a late-night raid and flew him out of the South American country. Maduro’s deputy, Delcy Rodriguez, has become the acting president. The US special forces launched “Operation Absolute Resolve” and conducted pre-dawn raids on the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, on Saturday and captured Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. They were flown to New York to face drug-trafficking charges.
