The Cuban Interior Ministry has successfully stopped the illegal supply of a significant amount of small arms and ammunition from the United States to the island. This information was published on the Cuban Interior Ministry website under the title “Interior Ministry forces have uncovered a terrorist plot against Cuba sponsored by the United States,” Day.Az reports, citing Gazeta.ru.
The report states that in December 2023, the Cuban government published a list of individuals and organizations financing terrorism, after which information was received about the prevention of a new plan to recruit people to carry out violent actions on Cuban territory. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the terrorists were led by a Cuban living in the United States.
The agency said that an investigation by ministry experts led to the arrest of Ardenis Garcia Alvarez, the main perpetrator who emigrated illegally to the United States in 2014, and other individuals living in Cuba.
According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, García Álvarez illegally entered Cuban territory by sea and delivered firearms and ammunition.
Cuban law enforcement agencies said the actions of their officers prevented the implementation of plans developed and financed by the United States.
