Miami TV invites terrorists to talk openly
about planned attacks on Cuba and Venezuela

Cuban television broadcast remarkable segments of a one-hour 
program shown on Miami TV Channel 41, in which known 
paramilitaries from the Florida — based Commandos F4 
organisation openly spoke of their preparation for an armed 
attack against Cuba.

In moments of near-hysteria, the leader of Commandos F4, Rodolfo 
Frometa, said that his organisation 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 organisation 
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 Miami 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, 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 they were allowed to get away 
with it. There couldn't be better proof of the US Government's 
complicity with such would-be terrorists.

Adding weight to recent accusations made by Venezuela's President 
Hugo Chavez, former Venezuelan army captain Eduardo Garcia was 
also present in full uniform to discuss the help Commandos F4 
were giving in his efforts to bring down Chavez by force. Chavez 
has frequently charged that Miami Cuban-American terrorist 
organisations are involved with Venezuelans seeking to 
assassinate him.

The host of the Cuban 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 paramilitary organisation 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.
