A Telemundo correspondent in Venezuela was abducted by armed men and questioned for hours as he tried to cover the detention the previous night of another group of journalists in the presidential palace, according to the news network.
Daniel Garrido was kidnapped by a group of unidentified men who "forced him into a vehicle and covered his head with a hood," a Telemundo statement said.
Garrido was covering the detention on Monday of Univision journalist Jorge Ramos and his crew, who were held against their will at the Miraflores Palace, according to a U.S. State Department official. The six journalists were held for about two hours, spending some of that time in dark rooms, before they were released, Ramos said. Most of their equipment, including memory cards were taken from them, Ramos said, adding that he got his phone back, but it was wiped.Maduro's administration blamed the U.S. State Department for making up a"fake allegation with a show and spectacle."
