The United States arbitrarily and unilaterally included Cuba in a spurious list of countries allegedly sponsoring terrorism, a nation that for decades has been the target of terrorist actions orchestrated from U.S. territory, supported and financed by Washington.
  
Precisely today, October 6, marks a new anniversary of a sad event, the Crime of Barbados. With 73 people on board, a Cuban commercial airliner exploded in 1976 in mid-flight as a result of an explosive attack.
  
In the service of the CIA, Central Intelligence Agency of the United States, the notorious terrorists Luis Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosh orchestrated the crime, in which 57 Cubans, five Koreans and 11 Guyanese who were traveling to our country to study medicine lost their lives.
   
Neither of the two terrorists was brought to justice for this abominable act, in spite of the numerous existing evidence. Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosh died peacefully on U.S. soil.
   
Criminal actions against our country have never ceased. In the days prior to the commemoration of a new anniversary of the Crime of Barbados, the Cuban embassy in Washington was the target of a terrorist attack. Last September 24, an individual threw two Molotov cocktails against the diplomatic headquarters.
  
This is the second violent attack against the facility on U.S. soil since April 2020, when an individual of Cuban origin shot at the building, and three years later he has still not been tried.
   
In a statement the Cuban Foreign Ministry warned about the double standard use of Washington's alleged commitment against terrorism.
   
The truth is that the various U.S. administrations have sheltered and encouraged the violent actions of anti-Cuban groups. Cuba has been the target of economic, military, biological and diplomatic aggressions and assassination attempts against its leaders.
  
Added to this is a genocidal economic, commercial and financial blockade, intensified during the COVID 19 pandemic by the government of then President Donald Trump.
    
More than three thousand Cubans have died and another 2 thousand 99 have suffered some kind of injury as a consequence of criminal actions, supported by the United States, which has exercised state terrorism against the Cuban people for defending their sovereignty, independence and their life project.
