United Nations, May 29 (RHC)-- The terrorist attack against the Cuban embassy in the United States is a direct result of the hostile policy of the U.S. government against the island.  In a letter released Friday, addressed to the President of the UN General Assembly, Tijjani Muhammad-Bande, Cuba recalled that on April 30th, Cuban citizen Alexander Alazo Baró fired 32 projectiles from a semi-automatic assault rifle against the embassy in Washington D.C., where 10 officials were inside the building.

This serious incident endangered the lives and safety of the diplomatic mission's personnel and their families.  As a result of the bullet impacts, material damage to the building was reported, added the text, sent by the alternate permanent representative of Cuba to the UN, Ana Silvia Rodríguez.

Following the terrorist attack, the ambassador urged Muhammad-Bande, in his capacity as president of the General Assembly, to issue a statement condemning such an act, taking into account the firm position of that body against international terrorism.

She also asked him to distribute the letter, dated May 27th and released this Friday by the Cuban mission at the UN, as an official document of the General Assembly.

The diplomat criticized in the text that the U.S. government has chosen not to condemn and not to reject this serious terrorist attack.  Washington's complicit silence encourages the execution of similar actions by violent individuals and groups in the United States itself.
