Cuba Honors Terrorism Victims
Tributes to victims of a
sabotaged Cuban airplane 30
years ago continues on the
island Friday, with demands for
justice obstructed by the United
States.
Among activities is a walk to
the Havana"s Mausoleum of the
Revolutionary Armed Forces, to
view wreckage of the DC-8 plane,
with a registration number CUT
1201 from the Cubana de Aviacion
airliner.
Relatives of those victims,
athletes and people in general
use to meet every year, to
remember their martyrs and
reaffirm their revolutionary
wishes.
The Cuban sports community
recalls with especial sorrow
that aggression because it
claimed 24 fencers who carried
off all the medals of the
Central-Caribbean youth
championship of that discipline.
"That crime was an attack on
Cuban fencing, which thwarted
dreams of those young people and
delayed our international sports
development." Confessed
terrorists Luis Posada Carriles
and Orlando Bosch, masterminds
of the Barbados crime, have
always boasted of their work and
are currently residing
unpunished in US territory.
They both conceived the
sabotage, executed by
Venezuelans Freddy Lugo and
Hernan Ricardo, who placed in
the plane several packets of C-4
explosives that exploded some
miles off Barbados coasts.
