Havana: Cuba claimed Sunday to have thwarted a "terrorist plot" planned on US soil, arresting its alleged mastermind and several others.
The interior ministry announced in the official state newspaper Granma that a Cuban citizen who had been residing in the United States was arrested as he entered Cuba "illegally" by sea, with firearms and ammunition and "as part of a new recruitment plan to carry out violent actions in our country."
The suspect had entered the United States as an undocumented migrant in 2014, said the ministry, adding that others implicated in the alleged plot were also arrested in Cuba.
It did not say how many people were detained, or when, in an operation based on information received in December of a plan "to execute violent actions in our country."
That same month, Cuba published a list of several dozen suspected "terrorists," many of them living abroad -- mainly in the United States.
