Havana, May 7 (RHC) – Cuban Interior Ministry forces have arrested four Cuban-born Miami residents who planned to carry out terrorist actions on the island.

An Interior Ministry’s release explains that the arrest took place April 26th and the citizens involved are: Jose Ortega Amador, Obdulio Rodríguez González, Raibel Pacheco Santos and Félix Monzón Álvarez.

According to the press release, the four men admitted that they intended to attack Cuban military facilities in order to promote violence. With this aim, three of them had traveled to Cuba on several occasions in 2013 to study the scene and prepare their actions.

They also admitted that these plans have been organized under the leadership of Miami-based individuals, such as Santiago Álvarez Fernández Magriñá, Osvaldo Mitat and Manuel Alzugaray, who are closely linked to international terrorist Luis Posada Carriles.

The Cuban Interior Ministry says that appropriate coordination will be carried out with competent U.S. authorities to investigate the evidence and attempt to prevent actions by terrorist individuals and organizations based in Miami.
