    Cuba's declared two days of national mourning, after multiple citizens were killed in the Venezuelan President's capture


    The US forcibly took Nicolas Maduro in a military operation over the weekend.

    He'll stand trial in New York on drugs and weapons charges.

    Al Jazeera's Scott McLean says Cuba's announced 32 citizens - who were armed force and intelligence agency members - died as a result of the operation.

    Trump's recently criticised the Cuban government, saying Cuba looks like it's ready to fall.
