Cubana de Aviación Flight 455
Cubana de Aviación Flight 455 was a Cuban flight from Barbados to Jamaica that was brought down on October 6, 1976 by a terrorist bomb attack. All 73 people on board the Douglas DC-8 aircraft were killed. Two time bombs were used, whose explosives have been variously described as dynamite or C-4.
Several CIA-linked anti-Castro Cuban exiles and members of the Venezuelan secret police DISIP were implicated by the evidence. Political complications quickly arose when Cuba accused the US government of being an accomplice to the attack. CIA documents released in 2005 indicate that the agency "had concrete advance intelligence, as early as June 1976, on plans by Cuban exile terrorist groups to bomb a Cubana airliner." Former CIA terrorist operative Luis Posada Carriles denies involvement but provides many details of the incident in his book ''Caminos del Guerrero'' (Ways of the Warrior).〔Posada Carriles, Luis 1994 (accessed 4-13-07) Los Caminos del Guerrero. Latin American Studies ()〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Luis Posada Carriles: The Declassified Record )〕
Four men were arrested in connection with the bombing, and a trial was held in Venezuela. Freddy Lugo and Hernán Ricardo Lozano were each sentenced to 20-year prison terms. Orlando Bosch was acquitted and later moved to Miami, Florida, where he lived until his death on April 27, 2011. Luis Posada Carriles was held for eight years while awaiting a final sentence but eventually fled. He later entered the United States, where he was held on charges of entering the country illegally, but was released on April 19, 2007.
== Background ==
On June 11, 1976, Coordination of United Revolutionary Organizations (CORU) was founded in the Dominican Republic. CORU united five anti-Castro Cuban exile groups,〔Jean-Guy Allard, ''Granma'', 26 December 2005, (The U.S. ignored Costa Rican proposal to extradite Bosch )〕 including Alpha 66 and Omega 7. For three months prior to the bombing of Flight 455, CORU waged a campaign of violence against links between several Caribbean countries which had established links with Cuba. In July 1977, the same flight was targeted in Jamaica by a suitcase bomb which exploded shortly before being loaded onto the plane.〔''The Guardian'', 8 October 1976, (Cuban exiles 'bombed jet' )〕 Other bombings in the summer included a number of offices of airlines carrying out business with Cuba, including the offices of the BWIA West Indies Airlines in Barbados; of Air Panama in Colombia; and of Iberia and Nanaco Line in Costa Rica.〔 Other attacks included the murder of a Cuban official in Mexico and two ((Cuban) officials? ) in Argentina;〔 the September assassination of Orlando Letelier in Washington, D.C.; and "a mysterious fire in Guyana () destroyed a large quantity of Cuban-supplied fishing equipment."〔
