Havana, May 3 (RHC)-- The Director of the U.S. Office of the Cuban Foreign Ministry, Carlos Fernández de Cossio, said on Sunday that the complicity of the United States with terrorism leaves Washington unable to make any statement on the attack against the island's embassy.

"In the U.S. capital, there is an armed aggression against a diplomatic headquarters and the State Department is unable to find a way to say anything," Fernandez de Cossio wrote on his Twitter account about Thursday's attack with an assault rifle against the Cuban mission.

"The history of the U.S. government's encouragement of violence against Cuba, as well as its complicity with terrorist groups, is well known."  

In an opinion piece, the Sunday morning edition of the newspaper Juventud Rebelde said that the lack of officialdom by the White House regarding an event of such gravity, doesn't bode well for what may happen next.

"The silence from the U.S. government could throw more gas on the fire of impunity and new aggressions, after the armed attack carried out against the embassy, and despite the demand by Cuba's Foreign Ministry that the terrorist action be fully investigated."

The newspaper article also recalled several of the more than 20 attacks on U.S. soil against diplomats from the Caribbean nation or its facilities in Washington, New York and Miami, including the September 1980 assassination of United Nations accredited diplomat Felix Garcia.

More than three days after the action described as terrorist by Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez, only the U.S. chargé d'affaires in Havana, Mara Tekach, who promised that what happened would be investigated, has spoken out from the U.S. government.
