CARACAS, Safar 11, 1436, Dec 3, 2014, SPA -- Venezuela has indicted hardline opposition leader Maria Corina Machado for participating in an alleged plot to kill President Nicolas Maduro, the state prosecutor's office said in a statement on Wednesday, Reuters reported. Machado, who led major street protest against Maduro at the beginning of the year, has dismissed the accusations as a charade designed to silence her and distract Venezuelans from a growing economic crisis. -- SPA 21:10 LOCAL TIME 18:10 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1302189
