The Cuban Ministry of the Interior (MININT) thwarted a terrorist plot against Cuba that had been organized and financed from the United States.
According to a report published in the Granma newspaper on Sunday, July 7, as a result of the investigation carried out by the specialized bodies of the Cuban Interior Ministry, Cuban citizen Ardenys García Álvarez was arrested on Friday. García Álvarez had illegally brought firearms and ammunition into Cuba by sea. He had emigrated to the United States illegally in 2014.
Other suspects residing in Cuba were also arrested.
The terror plot was part of a new plan to carry out violent actions in Cuba, said the MININT, adding that in December 2023 the Cuban government published in the Official Gazette of the Republic a list of people and entities that sponsor terrorism against Cuba.
Two days later, on Sunday, preliminary information was released about the neutralization of a new plot to carry out violent actions in Cuba.
The actions of the Cuban Interior Ministry forces dismantled the plans designed, directed and financed from the United States. The ministry had also launched an investigation into the details of the plot and the people involved.
During the primetime broadcast of the National Newscast on Monday, July 8, Cuban television will transmit a special program with evidence of the terrorist plots.
