Venezuelan National Assembly leader Juan Guaido said a special police squad accused of extrajudicial killings visited his home Thursday, days after the authoritarian regime restricted his travel. The force's commander denied it happened.

During a news conference on the opposition's economic plans, Guaido, who is gathering international support in his bid to unseat President Nicolas Maduro, abruptly announced that the feared Special Action Force had come to his house.

"They came into my home asking for Fabiana," Guaido said, referring to his partner, who accompanied him on stage. "I hold the armed forces and the police responsible for anything that happens to my baby, who is just 20 months old."
