US says Havana has not fully cooperated on counterterrorism as reason for ban. FMTNews US Cuba
WASHINGTON: The US and Cuba traded accusations of support for terrorism as President Donald Trump’s administration on Wednesday blacklisted the communist island, saying it had not fully cooperated on counterterrorism.
Colombian President Ivan Duque, a conservative ally of the US, broke off talks with the ELN after a January car bomb attack on a Bogota police academy killed 21 recruits. The move is separate from a US designation of state sponsorship of terrorism, which has far-reaching legal effects. “It is hiding its history of state terrorism against Cuba and the impunity of violent groups on its territory,” Rodriguez wrote on Twitter.Police arrested Alexander Alazo, who is originally from Cuba, for firing 32 rounds in the early morning at the embassy, which suffered bullet damage.Havana said Alazo frequented an evangelical church in Florida popular among conservative US politicians.
