@1 Don't know if it's true, but the ease with which he was grabbed suggested to me a high ranking insider or insiders were involved.

CIA/DIA/NSA tracked President Nicolas Maduro and established his "pattern of life," but they can't read his mind as to which of the eight locations he will sleep that night. So, somebody close to Nicolas Maduro fingered his location to CIA, possibly to collect the $50m bounty for his abduction.

Venezuelan counterintelligence would be monitoring communications, so something subtle would be necessary.

Along these lines are the possible methods of alerting his/her CIA handler with a pre-arranged code:

Electronic signal to a throwaway cellphone:

Text "One" for Palacio del Presidente
Text "Two" for Ministry of Justice
Text "Three" for Segundo AFB
Text "Four" for....

Physical Signals:

Wear a red scarf or tie for Palacio del Presidente
Wear a yellow scarf or tie for Ministry of Justice
Wear a blue scarf or tie for Segundo AFB
Wear a green scarf or tie for....

or

Carry "War and Peace" for Palacio del Presidente
Carry "Madame Bovary" for Ministry of Justice
Carry "The Sun Also Rises" for Segundo AFB
Carry "Murder on the Orient Express" for....

It's right pocket red Hankey, no? Yes?
