Cuban authorities recently foiled a plan of destabilizing actions by terrorists based in the United States, which would presumably be carried out during the end of the year holidays.
According to a statement transmitted by Cuban Television, it was revealed that the Ministry of the Interior (Minint) has arrested and investigated several people linked to plans to carry out violent actions in the last days of the year.
