Venezuela claims to have foiled a CIA-financed cell plotting a false-flag attack on an American warship, in what the government alleges is a cynical ploy to spark a full military confrontation.
Interior minister Diosdado Cabello said that a cell financed by the CIA planned to attack the USS Gravely and pin the blame on Caracas, after the missile destroyer docked in Trinidad and Tobago on Sunday to conduct joint exercises with Trinidad's navy.
Venezuela said that it had captured a group of mercenaries "with direct information of the American intelligence agency" and whose goal it was to carry out a false-flag attack in the region. Cabello said four people had been arrested, without providing details.

If he did know, and didnt stop it, he should be impeached and removed.,
And if he didnt know, then he should be impeached for not knowing. Thats incompetence.
The CIA doesnt just kill Americans on a whim. That had to come from up top.
