NEW YORK — Afro-Cubans
with a ringside seat at the U.S.
Negra movement's civil war
warn white Americans not to
take too much comfort because
the black extremists are
fighting each other.
“This is just a dress rehearsal
— good practice for your black
terrorists,” says an anti Castro
AfroCuban exile. “Once they
decide the battle for control of
the black extremists’ multi-
million dollar racket, they'll be
ready for the real action.”
These experienced observers
are also convinced thete are
many more terrorist cells in the
U, §. similar to the mixed group
arrested recently by the “New
York City police for plotting te
blow up the Statue of Liberty.
BACK IN 1960
“AL this began in the autumn
of 1960 when Fidel Castro came
te the UN and took up residence
in Harlem,” say the exiles.
“Today there is a terrorist
network made up of the wild
hotheads of several organiza-
tions — the Fair Play for Cuba
group, especially in Canada, the
American black extremists and
those students who visited
Cuba.”
This network has an
underground railroad in and out
of the U.S. vin Canada to Cuba
and communist centers of
Europe and Asia. It has “safe
houses” along the way like the
official spy organizations, and
training camne with equipment
worthy of James Bond.
