Ministry of the Interior (MININT)
Informative Note
This
past April 26, Interior Ministry forces detained the
citizens of Cuban origin, resident in Miami, United
States, José Ortega Amador, Obdulio Rodríguez
González, Raibel Pacheco Santos and Félix Monzón
Álvarez, as they were planning to carry out
terrorist attacks within national territory.
Those arrested acknowledged that they intended to
attack military installations with the objective of
promoting violent actions. Toward this end, three of
the individuals had made several trips to the
island, since mid-2013, to study and practice the
execution of their plans.
They
additionally stated that these plans had been
organized under the direction of the terrorists
Santiago Álvarez Fernández Magriñá, Osvaldo Mitat
and Manuel Alzugaray, who reside in Miami and
maintain close ties with well-known terrorist Luis
Posada Carriles.
Pertinent contact with appropriate United States
authorities was made, in order to investigate these
events and prevent, in a timely fashion, the actions
of such individuals and terrorist organizations
based in that country, which endanger the lives and
security of persons in both nations.
