WASHINGTON.—The Cuban Interests Section in this
capital assured this January 5 that the island
government is cooperating in the international fight
against terrorism, and it condemned its inclusion on
the list of states described by the U.S.
administration as sponsors of terrorism, EFE reports.
Alberto González, spokesman for the Cuban mission
in Washington, stated that Cuba "has complied with,
is complying with and will comply with the
internationally recognized security measures in
these cases," and he noted that the Cuban people "do
not recognize in any way the moral authority of the
U.S. government to certify their inclusion on this
kind of list."
González unequivocally stated that "Cuban
territory has never been utilized to organize,
finance or execute acts of terrorism against the
United States or any other state," and suggested
that this latest attack on the island is politically
motivated.
On the contrary, he continued, Cuba has been the
victim of violence and terrorism on the part of
individuals such as Luis Posada Carriles, who
remains at large in the United States and has not
been brought to justice.
