Cuban Daily Recalls Sabotage in
Havana Port
Cuban Granma daily recalled on
Saturday the sabotage to the
French ship "Le Coubre" in
Havana, on the occasion of the
anniversary of that terrorist
action, of which the United
States CIA was accused.
The happening on March 4, 1960,
left more than 100 deaths and
around 400 people wounded, due
to the magnitude of the
explosions on the ship.
"Le Coubre" came to Cuba with
ammunitions and antitank and
antipersonnel grenades bought by
the Island in Belgium, to face
up to the wave of terrorist
attacks unleashed against this
country after the revolutionary
victory in 1959.
Workers of the port
installations, guards of the
area, members of the entities in
charge of transporting the
military supplies, and fire
department members were among
the victims of this attack.
The number of victims increased
after the first explosion, when
many people went to assist those
wounded and there was a second
blast, which proved that the
action was thoroughly planned.
The daily included in its report
some survivors´ testimonies of
the most important attack
against the Island, as part of
the US destabilizing plan,
followed by the invasion of
Playa Giron.
