Members of the Bolivarian Militia and government supporters march, rifles in hand, during a swearing-in rally for combatant forces called by Maduro, where he announces the arrest of two Americans and five other "mercenaries." "Just today we have captured seven foreign mercenaries, including two major US mercenaries," says Maduro, whose claim to re-election last July has been rejected by much of the world. "Here we have our weapons, with which we will defend our homeland—if necessary, even with our lives," says government supporter Antonio Diaz. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
