Pro-government militias attack opposition lawmakers during a special session coinciding with Venezuela's independence day, in Caracas, Wednesday, July 5, 2017. The attack, in plain view of national guardsmen assigned to protect the legislature, comes amid three months of often-violent confrontations between security forces and protesters who accuse the government of trying to establish a dictatorship by jailing foes, pushing aside the opposition-controlled legislature and rewriting the constitution to avoid fair elections.
