Cuba, 'the US allows terrorists to act with impunity'

Havana accused Washington of allowing "terrorists" to train and operate with impunity on American soil, citing details of an investigation into an incursion in February when a speedboat sparked a firefight at sea, resulting in deaths and injuries on both sides.

According to the Cuban investigation, disclosed by state media, on February 25, ten Cuban exiles attempted to infiltrate the island from the Florida Keys. The group was equipped with nearly 13,000 rounds of ammunition, eleven rifles, 15 pistols, Molotov cocktails, a VHF radio, and Starlink satellite communications equipment. Five people were killed on the occasion; the others, some of whom were injured, are under arrest for terrorism, the authorities said. Based on new evidence collected and confessions obtained, the survivors stated that their goal was to take control of military units and distribute weapons to the Cuban population, in order to organize a riot and provoke US military intervention.

Some of the individuals involved in the training of the insurgents - according to Havana - are still at large in the United States.
