Venezuela’s president orders arrest of American filmmaker.

Timothy Tracy, a 35-year-old filmmaker and graduate of Georgetown University, went to Venezuela to make a film about the the country’s searing political divide.Now he’s been arrested, President Nicolas Maduro said Thursday in a speech in which he accused the American of instigating the unrest that has roiled the oil-rich country since its April 14 presidential election. Venezuela’s political opposition says the election was stolen through fraudulent voting...
In a news conference Thursday, Interior Minister Miguel Rodriguez said the government has Tracy’s videos and other evidence that show he had a close relationship with the “extreme right” that is intent on taking power.
Rodriguez said that “from the way he acted, there is no doubt that he is from an intelligence agency.”

“He knows how to infiltrate, how to recruit sources,” Rodriguez added. “The mission was to take us to civil war.... Why a civil war? Because a civil war would lead to the intervention of a foreign power to bring order to the country.”
