On October 6, 1976, Cubana Flight 455 took off from Barbados en route to Jamaica. Two explosive devices placed on the airplane detonated, and the plane was ripped apart and plummeted into the ocean below. Innocent men, women, and children lost their lives, including the entire Cuban Olympic fencing team. A new informative and well-researched documentary, Cubana 455, details the ties between the CIA and Cuban exile terrorists. In this extraordinary documentary, it is clear that the Cuban terrorists have no remorse and consider civilian deaths as only collateral damage in their campaign against Cuba. Join us to learn about this tragic event and to demand that the US State Department remove Cuba from the SSOT (State Sponsors of Terrorism) The presence of Cuba on this list is particularly outrageous because it has been a victim of terrorist acts over the past 60 years, not a perpetrator of them.  Organized by Minnesota Cuba Committee.
