We have been publicizing this site since September 2.
September 11 is a very important day for all the world and not just for part of it.
Cuba has condemned, from the very outset, the atrocious terrorist attacks suffered by the people of the United States on 9/11. It is not just a strong and absolute position officially taken by the government, but by all Cuban people as well.
Cuban solidarity on this issue is profound and sincere, since nobody can feel deeper the suffering caused on 9/11 than can Cubans, This is because Cuba has suffered more terrorist acts and for a longer period of time - 43 years - than anyone.
I lived in New York for fourteen and a half years and have been visiting the city for fully half my life. I feel great pain for the many.many friends I have there. I was in New York on the 11th September 1974 when the terrorist group Omega 7 was created. I take this date to also remember the 11th September 1973 in Chile and the coup d'etat which included the bombing of the presidential palace, planting terror in the population with the assassination of thousands of people.
Between 1974 and 1979, Omega 7 exploded bombs at the Cuban Misión in New York as web as at other Cuban offices in Maniatan. Noone was ever arrested for more than 60 acts of terrorism in which US citizens were killed and many other lives put at risk.
On the 11th September 1980 my friend Felix Garcia was assassinated in full daylight on Queens Bld. Thos who ordered his death walk the streets to this day planning new crimes.
On the 12th September 1998 five Cubans were arrested for the only "crime" of working to prevent and avoid these kinds of terrorists actions against Cuba that have also caused the deaths, as I said, of US citizens.
"All men are created equal" says the most famous doocument in US history. This means that everyone has the right to life and we should all fight together against those who seek to kill - wherever they may be, whoever they may be and for whatever motive they may have. Nobody should be imprisoned for seeking to save lives at the great risk of their own.

If Cuba Has Been The Victim Of So Many Terrorist Attacks, Why Is It Not Cooperating With The United States Since September 11th? Why Is It Not Part Of The Anti-Terrorist Coalition?

Both before and after September 11th, Cuba has on numerous occasions attempted to cooperate with the United States by passing along precise information on terrorist groups that operate freely on US territory against Cuba, as well as information, when we have it, on plans made by others against the United States - specifically an assassination attempt planned against former President Reagan. Cuba has laws on its books that very severely punish terrorism in any form and against whoever without exception. We have ratified all international treaties on this and cooperate with the United Nations Security Council in the application of it's Resolution against terrorism. Conforming to this Resolution, the Cuban government proposed a bilateral cooperation agreement with Washington that the State Department has completely ignored.
Soon after September 11th, we submitted to the United States, upon request, all information that we had - although this was logically scarce, for unlike Washington, Cuba never had a relationship of any type with the Taliban regime nor with al-Qaeda and therefore there was little we could contribute. At the same time as immediately condemning the September 11th attacks, Cuba put its airports at the disposal of those who may need them and offered medical help to the United States. Fidel Castro called for a broad and real antiterrorist coalition to include all political, religious, intellectual and social forces. However, the Bush administration preferred to go to war - a position we consider erroneous and unjustified.

They never spied. The laws of the United States define such a crime as "to obtain or to try to obtain secret information from the government of the United States with the express purpose of causing damage to the United States." During the trial no evidence or witness was presented to indicate such an act was ever carried out or even attempted. On the contrary, several witness - including retired military personnel of high rank, as well as Government experts - testified they had not found any proof of espionage after examining the documentation presented by the Prosecution. It should be noted that two of the Cubans - René González and Fernando González - were not accused of anything that related to alledged espionage and the other three were not accused of spying but of "conspiracy to commit espionage."

Estimado Presidente,
hace dos días fue el 11 de septiembre. La prensa, europea e internacional ignoró completamente el evento. Si no hubiese sido por la salida del episodio dirigido por Ken Loach, en la película "11 de septiembre", y protagonizado por Vladimir Vega, ya preso político de la dictadura chilena, he encontrado trazas de un acontecimiento tan importante y dramático, y tan claro como ejemplo de terrorismo de estado, sólo en los diarios "Liberazione" de Italia, "Der Standard" de Austria y "The Independent" de Inglaterra.
Asistimos así una vez más a un intento de escamoteo de la memoria histórica de los pueblos. Los autores del sitio "antiterroristas.cu", recorren el camino opuesto, intentando la sistematización y la publicación de informaciones valiosísimas.
Se contribuye así a desvelar una vez más el fenómeno del terrorismo de estado, desde el Plan Cóndor al fracasado golpe contra la República Bolivariana, en todo su espanto.
Sin embargo, y aquí va mi pregunta, como ve usted, desde su cargo y desde Cuba, la lucha entre las grandes concentraciones multimediales todas homologadas al pensamiento único, y los medios antagonistas, ágiles pero que alcanzan cuotas mínimas de la información necesaria frente a la avalancha de las televisiones comerciales?
atentamente

Alarcón: Agradezco sus comentarios.
Mi respuesta. Es una lucha difícil y compleja. Ya en 1969 Brzeziniski había anticipado el poder que adquirirían esos grandes medios en “manipular los sentimientos y controlar la razón” operando sobre individuos aislados. Impedir el aislamiento, vincularse, organizarse, es el gran desafío para los medios alternativos. Eso exige creatividad y el ser humano nunca renunciará a crear. “Que no haya soledad” como dice una bella canción de Silvio Rodríguez.

I have never heard such a ridiculous accusation before. Cuba does not have and never has had any connection with Al Qaida. It is a fact that it was the CIA that helped create and train them. By the way, the 9-11 hijackers were not trained here, but in the U.S.

Mr. President,
If the United States were prepared to turn over Cuban citizens living in the U.S. who committed crimes in Cuba (i.e. some individuals who have hijacked planes from Cuba and landed safely in the United States), would the Cuban government entertain signing an extradition treaty with the United States and returning American citizens who have fled U.S. justice and are now living in Cuba?

Cuba and the U.S. have had a bilateral extradition treaty that was ignored and killed de facto by the U.S. since Jan.1, 1959, before Fidel Castro descended from the Sierra Maestra mountains. The U.S,. began receiving with open arms each and every Batista fugitives. Since that time, the U.S. has never sent back any criminal from Cuba.
We have proposed specific draft bilateral cooperation agreements on terrorism, drug trafficking, and illegal migration that may cover that area. The U.S. has refused even to consider our proposals.

Not one of them had the accusations of espionage proved against them – or anything resembling that. It is the first time in the history of the United States that someone has been condemned as a “spy” without witnesses or evidence or any kind of material proof brought against them. No “secret” documents taken, no recruits, nothing. Top military personnel and official experts called onto the witness stand testified that, on the contrary, the evidence presented indicated absolutely no espionage activity.

No existe aun una norma legal aceptada por todos. Cuba ha insistido en la ONU en lograr tal definición. Pero creo que hay un consenso básico sobre algunos aspectos terrorismo es el uso de la violencia o la amenaza de la violencia contra personas indefensas con el propósito de obtener determinados fines del terrorista. Las guerras por la independencia o la resistencia contra los nazis implicaron violencia, pero no pueden comprarse con hacer estallar una bomba en un teatro de Miami o con la barbaridad del 9-11 que sí que si son dudas acciones terroristas.

Buenos días compañero Ricardo Alarcón.
Es un placer y al mismo tiempo honor poder participar en este foro con ud.
Mi nombre es Ileana Luis y soy miembro de Casa de las Américas de NYC.
El objetivo de este mensaje es para dejarle saber a ud. y a Cuba entera que lejos de la Patria hay personas que la defienden. Que lucharemos para lograr que estos 5 valientes compañeros sean excarcelados y no pararemos hasta lograrlo como hicimos cuando Elián, y que mejor lugar este, como diría nuestro Apostol "en las entrañas del monstruo"
Estos 5 jóvenes nos dan fuerzas para seguir luchando y defendiendo nuestro terruño.
No importa que la gusanera se empeñe en seguir su sucia campaña contra estos defensores del terrorismo, pues cada vez más la opinión mundial conoce de este caso y se unen a la campaña por su liberación.
Ayer 12 de septiembre tuvimos un Forum en NY al unísono con muchos otros países. Es un trabajo duro, pero no imposible y seguiremos hasta lograr que se haga justicia.
No quisiera despedirme sin antes invitarlo a nuestra modesta página que hemos construído para enseñarle al mundo desde acá la verdadera realidad de Cuba y desmentir de esta manera la propaganda sucia contra nuestro Patria y nuestro heróico pueblo. Además tiene también un rincón para los Cinco Patriotas.

The supposed “evidence” was classified as “secret”, enabling the government to edit, select and manipulate it at will. The Defense was denied the right to present a number of documents and witnesses, and those who did testify received threats quite openly in the courtroom. The jury was subjected to coercion in the very courthouse itself, some of whom complained to the judge. The Cubans were condemned and sentenced and their appeal centers on the argument that they were denied access to the supposed “evidence” over a period of approximately four years – “evidence” that is still being denied to this day.

Mr. Alarcon: The war on terror was first undertaken by Reagan, as a substitute for the cold war -- that is, as a vehicle for scaring the public and thus marshalling support for programs contrary to the public's interest -- foreign campaigns, war spending in general, surveillance, and so on. Now we are seeing a larger and more aggressive attempt to move in the same direction. Does the problem that we are the world's foremost source of attacks on civilians auger complications for carrying through this effort? Can the effort be sustained without, in fact, a shooting war?

Unfortunately, Cuba has a lot of experience in terms of having to defend itself and preventing terrorists acts organized from abroad against our country. During the past 43 years, we have managed to do this thanks to the participation of the people that supports a government whose policies respond to the interests and needs of the overwhelming majority. The war and the use of military force is not the solution to the problem of terrorism.
It is necessary and possible for governments, civil societies and people from all over the Planet who unanimously reject terrorism to unite in a common front. Terrorist groups, which account for a minor part of the population, would be totally isolated and would not receive support from anyone. But, in order to accomplish this, governments should be required to adopt effective measures against all forms of terrorism and against all terrorists regardless the causes and motivations they may argue to try to justify their actions.

Alarcon,
Buenas tardes desde New Mexico, Varias preguntas:
1) se ha dicho desde el 59 que Cuba oficialmente NUNCA pidio a las autoridades norteamericanas que enviaran de vuela a la isla a los criminalesm torturadores, etc que escapararon en los primeros dias del 59. Que sucedio en relacion con eso?
2) En Estados Unidos se desconoce la actividad de ciudadanos norteamericanos que auspiciaron terrorismo en la isla desde comienzos de 1959. Puede ofrecernos detalles sobre los primeros norteamericanos que participaron en actividades terroristas en Cuba?
3) Aunque Fidel Ccastro dio a conocer en un discurso sobre en nformacion proporcionada a personal del FBI que estuvo en Cuba sobre actividades terroristas de personas nacidas en Cuba y residentes en los Estados Unidos, la informacion proporcionada no es conocida por el publico. Es posible obtener esa informacion?
Gracias.

Nelson, te puedo asegurar que los expedientes del MINREX con las notas diplomáticas pidiendo la devolución de los criminales y anexando pruebas, que incluían en algunos casos los fallos judiciales emitidos contra esas personas antes de 1959, son tan voluminosos que cubrirían la distancia de aquí a New México. A presentar esas notas dedicó buena parte de su actividad el Doctor Roberto Agramonte, primer canciller de Cuba en 1959.

Sí lo sabía. Creo que es una vergüenza que Orlando Bosch que ordenó destruir en pleno vuelo un avión civil cubano pero que también cometió varios crímenes, con bombas y cohetes, en Estados Unidos, esté libre y que cinco cubanos estén presos allá precisamente por tratar de frustrar los crímenes de Bosch. La radio y la prensa escrita de Miami sigue publicando casi a diario declaraciones y anuncios de Bosch, y de otros como él, sobre las fechorías que ahora mismo están planeando. Ejemplo de ello son: la página publicada en el Miami Herald el 22 de agosto del pasado año en la que revindicó el uso del terrorismo contra Cuba, lo que reiteró recientemente, el 16 de junio de este año, en el Diario de las Américas, donde apareció un documento que previamente había leído en la radio de esa ciudad (Radio Mambí) el 6 de junio.
