A power outage briefly darkened Venezuela's capital and other parts of the country in what President Nicolas Maduro said was an act of sabotage against his socialist government.

The blackout began shortly after 8:00PM on Monday night, as Maduro was addressing the nation about his plan to reduce inflation battering the automotive industry.
