Investigation into foiled terrorist infiltration attempt progresses
U.S. authorities express willingness to cooperate.
In compliance with current Cuban legal provisions, forensic and investigative actions are progressing, which will allow for the full clarification of the facts, as well as the involvement of each of its perpetrators.
The statements made by the detainees themselves, along with a series of investigative procedures, strengthen the evidence against them. At the same time, new elements have been obtained establishing the involvement of other individuals residing in the United States.
From the outset, Cuban authorities have maintained timely communication with their U.S. counterparts. On March 2, 2026, U.S. authorities conveyed through diplomatic channels their willingness to fully cooperate in the investigation. This cooperation could include the exchange of information, evidence, and other joint actions.
Given the gravity of the events and the threat that terrorism represents not only to Cuba, the national authorities, consistent with their historical stance on this issue, consider reciprocal cooperation in confronting this dangerous scourge for all humanity a duty.
The wounded detainees continue to receive specialized medical assistance according to their individual health conditions and the severity of their injuries. Roberto Álvarez Ávila died on March 4 as a result of his injuries.
The public will be kept informed as the investigation progresses.
