Miami, May 14, (RHC), -- A fire that last month damaged the offices of a Florida company that arranges charter flights to Cuba was deliberately set, local authorities say.

Investigators with the Coral Gables Fire Department say the fire was sparked after a chunk of pavement was used to break open a window at the Airline Brokers Co. and an incendiary device was tossed inside.

According to El Nuevo Herald, investigators found a disposable lighter in a doorway and a shattered green bottle.

Although, the owner of Airline Brokers said she hadn't received any recent threats, analysts and organizations point to extreme-right Cuban-American individuals or groups as potential responsible for the arson crime.

In the past, far-right exile groups have criticized and at times even violently attacked companies that charter flights to the island. /AP
