Cuba Summons US to Act on Terrorism | Quote: | Cuba Summons US to Act on Terrorism
Havana, Apr 21 (Prensa Latina) Cuban media condemned US judicial authorities Friday, for not bringing charges against Cuban-born citizen Roberto Ferro, who was recently arrested in California with a cache of more than 1,000 weapons.
Under the banner headline, "What will the FBI do now?" Granma pointed out that members of the Alpha66 "Cuban-American Miami-based terrorist group with a large dossier of criminal attacks against Cuba" have not been investigated.
Ferro, who was part of that group, and an ex member of the US Army Special Forces, with a long personal arrest record, was also arrested in November and presently faces eight charges for that arrest.
He was also accused in 1990 of directing a paramilitary camp in Pomona, where five pounds of C-4 explosives were confiscated.
At that time, Ferro was convicted to two years in prison, but no action was taken against the terrorist group, which continued operating freely in Miami, although Ferro confirmed that Alpha 66 paid for the weapons.
Granma daily condemned the unexplainable stance by the FBI, which has so far done nothing to find out what happened.
Current Alpha66 chief Ernesto Diaz Rodriguez "continues promoting terrorism from his office at 1714 W Flagler Street, Miami, and the FBI remains quiet, it editorialized.
Alpha66 planned to murder Cuban President Fidel Castro, has attacked Cuban fishing boats, and threatened to kill people friendly to Cuba in the US, Canada, Mexico, and in Latin America.
The current US administration has excellent relations with Alpha66 (President George W Bush met with eleven Alpha66 cronies on May 20, 2003), despite Miami police documents considering it "one of the most dangerous organizations" in Miami.
While this happens, five Cuban men: Gerardo Hernandez, Rene Gonzalez, Ramon Labanino, Antonio Guerrero and Fernando Gonzalez, who monitored terrorist activities of these criminal groups, have been unfairly imprisoned in the US since 1998, the daily contended. |
