CARACAS, Venezuela: A US journalist was seized by security forces at his apartment early Wednesday amid Venezuela’s escalating political turmoil, then was freed several hours later, executives at his Miami-based TV station said.
Cody Weddle was taken to the airport outside Caracas for a flight back to the United States, said ABC affiliate Local 10 News, a station he sent dispatches as a freelance correspondent.
It wasn’t clear why he was detained. Government officials did not comment on the case.
