>Miami TV Invites Terrorists to Speak Openly of 
>Planned Attacks Against Cuba and Venezuela
>
>Havana, June 9 (RHC)
>
>Cuban television tonight broadcast remarkable 
>segments of a one hour program on Miami TV
>Channel 41 in which known terrorists from the 
>Florida based Comandos F4 paramilitary 
>organization openly spoke of their preparation 
>for an armed attack against Cuba.
>
>In moments of near-hysteria, the leader of 
>Comandos F4, Rodolfo Frometa, said that his 
>organization has people inside and outside Cuba 
>ready to carry out armed acts against the Cuban 
>government. Dressed in fatigues, as were the 
>others of his organization present in the 
>studio, Frometa said that his group trained with 
>AK47 semi-automatic weapons - arms, he said, 
>that were legally obtained in the United States 
>although he admitted he had no paperwork to 
>prove it.
>
>The program was hosted by Oscar Asa, the nephew 
>of former Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. 
>Batista was responsible for the murder of 
>thousands of Cubans until he was forced out by 
>revolutionary forces in 1959. Asa seemed to 
>enjoy posing provocative questions relating to 
>assassination in what critics on Cuba's nightly 
>televised Round Table classed as openly 
>violating US federal law.
>
>It is illegal in the US to defend terrorist 
>actions on TV. The promotion of the 
>assassination of another nation's leader is also 
>illegal under the US Neutrality Act. 
>Nonetheless, commented round table participants, 
>these men were able to openly sit in a studio 
>dressed for war and happily discuss the 
>different armaments they were using to train 
>paramilitaries to attack Cuba, and get away with 
>it. There couldn't be better proof of the US 
>government's complicity with such terrorists.
>
>Proving recent accusations of Venezuela's 
>President Hugo Chávez to be true, former 
>Venezuelan army captain Eduardo García was also 
>present in full uniform to discuss the help 
>Comandos F4 were giving in his efforts to bring 
>down Chávez by force. Chávez has frequently 
>charged that Miami
>Cuban-American terrorist organizations are 
>involved with Venezuelans seeking to assassinate 
>him.
>
>The host of the Round Table program, Randy 
>Alonso, simply asked viewers to form their own 
>conclusions after seeing such an astonishing 
>program, commenting that the message that 
>Frometa gave was clear: his terrorist 
>organization was ready and trained - it just 
>needed the money. And, said Alonso, the money is 
>there - $36 million recently earmarked by the US 
>government to support such groups.
>
>HANDS OFF CUBA !
