Washington-backed presidential wannabe Juan Guaido speaking in Caracas
DETAILS of the US mercenary bid to invade Venezuela have emerged after a copy of a 41-page contract was leaked to the Washington Post this weekend.
Washington-backed usurper Juan Guaido was named as commander-in-chief of the operation and, according the document, he was to provide a $10 million (£8m) bond to the Silvercorp private security firm, to be be paid back depending on its success.
The document reveals a list of individuals and organisations deemed legitimate targets under the terms of the agreement, including President Nicolas Maduro and constituent assembly president Diosdado Cabellero.
