(Bloomberg) -- Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido said heavily-armed security officers penetrated his apartment building, threatening him with arrest, and detained Freddy Guevara, a top lieutenant, in a separate operation.
Surrounded by neighbors who came to support him, Guaido said the men coming for him had set off an explosive. He reported no injury. Those who took Guevara pointed long weapons at him.
Guevara, a former vice president of the national assembly and number two in Guaido’s party, was detained while broadcasting from his car on a Caracas highway, according to a tweet and press release from the party.
