FORMER national security minister and police commissioner Gary Griffith has described the capture and extraction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro by US military forces around 2 am on January 3, of a case of a bully now being bullied.

The operation involved a coordinated aerial and land assault by US forces. Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine said over 120 aircraft (manned and unmanned) from 20 bases in the Caribbean led the aerial attack on Venezuela's capital city Caracas, taking out key targets that could have disadvantaged the US ground team which extracted Maduro and his wife Cecelia Flores from a fortified compound in the middle of the city.

CBS News reported the US Army's elite counter-terrorism unit Delta Force was involved in the mission. US President Donald Trump and Caine confirmed there were no US casualties or loss of US military assets during the operation.
