The country's interior minister Diosdado Cabello said on Thursday that the five - three Americans, a Bolivian and a Peruvian - had engaged in a plan to destabilise the country.

Cabello claimed that US intelligence agencies were involved in the plot, though he provided no evidence for the allegation.

The CIA previously denied a claim it was involved in an alleged plot to assassinate President Nicolás Maduro.

The US State Department condemned the latest arrests and said that the "safety and security of American citizens anywhere around the world is our first priority".
