SMALL-SCALE ANTI-MADURO REBELLION CRUSHED IN VENEZUELA: That’s the Reuters report. All the facts aren’t known.

Venezuelan authorities suppressed a small rebellion at a military base near the city of Valencia on Sunday, arresting seven men who they say participated in a “terrorist attack” against the government of unpopular leftist President Nicolas Maduro.

Earlier on Sunday a video circulated on social media showing a group of men in military uniform announcing an uprising in the wake of the creation of a pro-government legislative superbody on Friday, which was widely condemned as a power grab.

Hundreds took to the streets in Valencia to support the uprising, said resident Carolina Herrera, who like other witnesses reported shots through the night.

A former National Guard captain announced the revolt.

There’s evidence that many lower ranking officers oppose Maduro. I mentioned that in a recent column on Venezuela’s slide toward civil war.
