Havana_ Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel today recalled the more than 100 Cubans, victims of the terrorist attack against La Coubre, on March 4, 1960, Prensa Latina reports.

Then, the historical leader of the Revolution, Fidel Castro, expressed: " Only that freedom now means something else: freedom means homeland. And our dilemma now would be homeland or death”. This is how our conviction was born, he wrote in his account of the social network Twitter.

The sabotage was denounced by the Island as a terrorist act carried out by the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States (CIA) to prevent the nascent revolution from becoming militarily strengthened, since the ship was carrying weapons and ammunition.

The violent action was one of many organized, financed and promoted from North American territory against the largest of the Antilles, with an accumulated balance of nearly 3 thousand 500 fatal victims and more than 2 thousand injured.
