- US PLAYING FOOTSY WITH CUBA?
-
- A militant group of Cuban exiles calling themselves Commando L
- accused George Bush's administration of repressing the group's
- incursions into Cuba since the November 3 elections in the US in
- which he was defeated by Bill Clinton. Tony Cuesta, the group's
- leader, accused Bush of waiting until after the elections to bring
- charges against the Cuban exile leaders. "As soon as the
- elections were over our best men were arrested," said Cuesta.
-
- Commando L made a public appeal for financial assistance on
- Wednesday, November 11, in the amount of $100,000 to pay bail and
- a defense attorney for Tony Bryant, a former Black Panther Party
- member who joined the Cuban exile group after having spent 11
- years in a Cuban prison. Bryant was arrested in the US on Monday,
- November 9, for allegedly illegally carrying arms during an
- incursion into Cuba this past July. A federal investigator is
- also considering filing charges of violation of the Neutrality Law
- against others involved in the same incursion. Bryant's lawyer,
- Ellis Rubin, said he could not explain why the Bush administration
- was cooperating with Fidel Castro, but said Cuba has handed over
- to the US testimony from witnesses, photos and ballistic evidence
- concerning the attack against a beach hotel in Cuba perpetrated by
- Commando L. (AP 11/12)
