Havana, January 21 (RHC)-- A special news report on Cuban television Tuesday evening offered detailed information on the acts of vandalism against 11 busts of Cuba's National Hero José Martí and three billboards in the early morning of January 1st in Havana.

According to the report, the money came from the U.S. government and surveillance cameras caught the two men as they carried out their criminal actions.

The material authors, Panter Rodríguez Baró, 44, and Yoel Prieto Tamayo, 29, citizens with criminal records, were arrested in the Cuban capital.  In their depositions to authorities, collected by the report, they confessed to being responsible for the events, explaining how they carried them out and who paid them from the United States.

The events were part of a campaign orchestrated in the U.S. to create an image of the existence of an "opposition" to the Cuban Government, a group which presumably acted clandestinely, hence the name "Clandestinos."

The effort sought to foster an atmosphere of insecurity in the country.

Rodriguez and Prieto identified Miami-based counter-revolutionary activist Ana Olema Hernandez as the person who contacted them and sent them the money to carry out the acts of vandalism.
