Venezuela has said it would seek a United Nations probe of US strikes that killed 14 alleged drug traffickers on at least two boats in international waters off its coast. “The use of missiles and nuclear weapons to murder defenseless fishermen on a small boat are crimes against humanity that must be investigated by the United Nations,” Venezuela’s Attorney General Tarek William Saab said. US President Donald Trump says American forces have “knocked off” three boats but Washington has only provided details and video footage of two strikes on alleged “narco-terrorists” as part of a US anti-drug naval deployment.
