Four men detained in Cuba on suspicion of planning terrorist attacks


Miami-based Cuban nationals have been detained in Cuba. They supposedly planned to carry out attacks on Cuba's military facilities. Cuban newspaper Granma reported on Wednesday that the suspects were detained on April 26 by the forces of the Interior Ministry.

Jose Ortega Amador, Obdulio Rodriguez Gonzalez, Raibel Pacheco Santos and Felix Monzon Alvarez were detained in the midst of their preparations for terrorist activity on the national territory of Cuba, the newspaper said. The suspects admitted that they "planned to attack military facilities to provoke violence."

Granma reported that three out of four suspects have visited Cuba several times from mid-2013 to plan the execution of planned terrorist attacks.

The suspects said the plan of the attack were developed by three others in Miami who have close ties with infamous terrorist Posada Carriles.
