Fidel Castro: Bush Ally of
Terror
Cuban head of state Fidel Castro
accused on Monday President
George W. Bush of complicity
with international terrorism.
Addressing a huge International
Labor Day rally at Havana´s
Revolution Square, Fidel
referred to Washington´s
protection of the masterminds of
horrendous crimes against Cuba
and other nations in Latin
America and the world.
To illustrate Washington´s
involvement with terrorists, he
mentioned the now
officially-recognized ties
between the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the Central
Intelligence Agency with the
illegal entry to the US of the
notorious criminal Luis Posada
Carriles and his scorts in the
Santrina vessel from Isla
Mujeres, Mexico.
"Posada Carriles enjoys
privileges while thousands of
undocumented immigrants are
pursued, jailed and
repatriated," he stressed.
Likewise, the Cuban statesman
emphasized the recent detention
in Los Angeles of terrorist
Robert Ferro, of Cuban origin,
who had 1,571 weapons in his
California residence. Fidel
disclosed Ferro´s links with
Alpha 66, a Miami-based
terrorist organization, and
stressed that some of those
weapons came from the US
government.
He described Alpha 66 as one of
the most dangerous and active
Miami terrorist organizations,
also linked to the Operation
Condor that killed former
Chilean foreign minister Orlando
Letelier, whose car was blown up
in Washington DC, and Chilean
democratic military officers
Carlos Pratts and Juan Jose
Torres.
There is no sea or border that
limits these criminal groups,
and an example of that is the
mid-air bombing of a Cuban
civilian aircraft off the shores
of Barbados in 1976.
The most important fact of these
actions of terror -Fidel
continued- is their linkage with
the Bush family, Orlando Bosh
and Posada Carriles.
Fidel cautioned that the ongoing
military exercises in the
Caribbean involving modern US
aircraft carriers, tens of
sophisticated warplanes and a
nuclear submarine with missiles
and other weaponry devised to
destroy communications should
not be draw apart from
Washington´s hostile anti-Cuban
policy.
In addition, the Cuban leader
flatly rebuffed what he called
White House´s cynical accusation
of terrorism against Venezuelan
President Hugo Chavez and
Havana.
