Cuba Thwarts Terrorist Plot By Florida Man Who Arrived By Jetski: Report

The report alleged the man had entered Cuba illegally on a jetski and tried to recruit others for committing acts of violence, arson and vandalism.

Cuba said late on Saturday it had thwarted a terrorist plot hatched in neighbouring south Florida, according to a report broadcast on state-run media, after a man allegedly arrived on the island by jetski to commit acts of violence.

The resulting investigation, which state-run media said was still underway, alleged the plot was tied to at least two groups, Nueva Nacion Cubana and La Nueva Nacion Cubana en Armas, which Cuba has labeled as terrorist entities.

Reuters was unable to contact either of the groups late on Saturday.
