Activists Demand US Govt Reveal Files on Terrorism Against Cuba
Community groups and organizations are demanding that government agencies in the United States reveal the information they hold about terrorists of Cuban origin who are involved in attacks against Cuba, the publication Areitodigital is reporting today.
An article written by Andres Gomez, Areitodigital editor, mentions "vital issues related to the serious problem of terrorism that currently exists in the city of Miami."
The problem was raised in a press conference held on May 29 in Miami, Florida, convened by the National Committee to Free the Cuban Five, the anti-war ANSWER coalition, and the Cuban organizations in Miami that make up the Martí Alliance coalition.
Documents were presented at the press conference that call for the State Department, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) to publish the reports they hold about the number of Cuban-American terrorists, their terrorist activities, and their ties to the CIA.
The organizers of the press conference said that they had called the meeting to point out "the impunity that the U.S. government provides the extreme rightwing Cuban American terrorists who live and operate within and from Miami."
The most recent example of this situation, stated the article, was the arrest in Cuba on April 26 of four terrorists of Cuban origin who live in Miami.
U.S. authorities charged by law to monitor such terrorist activities on their own soil have remained absolutely silent on the matter, said Areitodigital.
This conduct shows a continued tolerance and collaboration in the criminal activities of these extreme rightwing Cuban-American terrorist organizations, stressed Gomez.
For precisely these reasons, he said, the State Department, the CIA and the FBI must reveal all the information they hold in their files about a number of terrorists, starting with Santiago Alvarez Fernandez Magrinat, Osvaldo Mitat, Manuel Alzugaray, Pedro Remón Crispín, Gaspar Jiménez Escobedo, Guillermo Novo Sampol y Luis Posada Carriles.
Those demanding the information point out that their main objective is to put an end to the impunity Washington is granting those terrorists located in this country.
