Top US military officer says ‘over 150 aircraft’ were involved in Maduro’s capture

Fox News correspondent Lucas Tomlinson describes the meticulous preparation and ‘overwhelming force’ used in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on ‘Fox Report.’ 

U.S. airlines began canceling Caribbean flights early Saturday morning after the "large-scale attack" on Venezuela.

President Donald Trump announced that Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife were captured and flown out of the country and will stand trial on criminal charges in New York.

Following the successful mission, the FAA issued a slew of notices to airmen (NOTAMs) over Venezuelan and Caribbean airspace, barring any flights without FAA approval.

The NOTAMs are scheduled to last through late Saturday night. As of this writing, it is unclear if they will be extended.
