Cuba Reveals Identity of Armed Group in Florida Speedboat Incident
Cuban authorities have released the latest developments in the investigation into the shootout incident in the Falcones Cay area, Villa Clara province. The investigation revealed that a speedboat, FL7726SH, flying a Florida flag, carried 10 armed individuals suspected of intending to infiltrate the country for terrorist purposes.
During a search of the neutralized unit, authorities seized various pieces of combat equipment, including assault rifles, pistols, bulletproof vests, telescopic sights, and camouflage uniforms. In addition, improvised explosive devices in the form of Molotov cocktails were also found.
Based on initial interrogations, all participants in the action were Cuban citizens residing in the United States. Authorities have identified six of those arrested, namely:
In addition, one of the deceased victims has been identified as Michel Ortega Casanova, while the identities of the other three deceased victims are still being processed.
Most of them have a history of criminal and violent activity. In fact, the names Amijail Sánchez González and Leordan Enrique Cruz Gómez are listed on Cuba’s National List of persons wanted by the authorities for involvement in the planning, financing, and execution of terrorist acts, in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 1373.
In addition to the group on the boat, Cuban security forces also arrested a citizen named Duniel Hernández Santos in the national territory. He is strongly suspected of being sent directly from the United States to ensure the success of the armed infiltration on the ground.
During questioning, Hernández Santos reportedly confessed to his actions. The investigation is still ongoing to clarify all the facts and the network involved in the attempted attack.
The Cuban government has affirmed that it will continue to take firm action against any attempts that threaten its sovereignty and national security in the context of an increasingly tense regional situation. (CubaSi/Z-2)
