Under cover of an electronic blackout, U.S. forces launched a lightning operation into Caracas and seized Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro, flying him out of the country without a single American casualty. As shockwaves ripple across the globe, Deep Dive asks: what happens next when a superpower abducts a sitting head of state?

Political Reporter Jon Michael Raasch is joined by Chief Foreign Correspondent Andy Jehring, reporting from the Colombia-Venezuela border, to unpack the raid, the reaction on the ground, and what these events mean for the wider-region.

Former Vietnam War fighter pilot Raymond Wagner toggled the radio transmit button on the right hand side of his Boeing 747-121's control yoke. 'Clipper 103 requesting oceanic clearance', he intoned, using the modulated aviation voice he'd honed over several decades flying. On the other end was Alan Topp, the Scottish Air Traffic Controller working more than 50 miles away in Prestwick, west of Glasgow.The time was 6:58pm on December 21, 1988.They were the last words recorded from Pan Am Flight 103.Within five minutes of that transmission, all the passengers and crew aboard were dead, killed by a bomb that destroyed the aircraft as it flew over the Scottish town of Lockerbie. Large sections of the plane plunged 20,000ft and crashed into residential streets below.

270 people died that night: 243 passengers, 16 crew, and 11 Lockerbie residents.

Sir Mo is knighted – he's a four-time Olympic champion and national treasure. After years in the public eye, he confronts his complex past with a documentary that shocks the world and earns him a BAFTA.

But in doing so, he unwittingly thrusts Mohamed into the spotlight; at the very moment his namesake's life seems to be turning around.

Mohamed's Turkish visa expires and he's deported to Mogadishu – a city he fled 35 years ago and barely remembers. Alone, penniless, and held at gunpoint within weeks, he faces spending the rest of his life in one of the world’s most violent cities, separated from the rest of his family. 

Then Sir Mo makes a dramatic intervention.

In 1993, an 8-year-old Mo Farah arrived in the UK as a refugee from war-torn Somalia. It would only be revealed 30 years later, through a documentary of his own making, that the Olympic champion was brought to the UK illegally under a false identity. His real name: Hussein Abdi Kahin.

While the documentary uncovers an incredible story, it raises even more questions about the national treasure – and about the boy whose identity he was given. The other Mo Farah.

Journalists Andy Jehring and Kamal Sultan set out to discover what happened to Sir Mo's namesake. Their investigation takes them from Somali cafés in West London to the streets of Istanbul, Djibouti, Nairobi, and war-torn Mogadishu.
