Cuban Foreign Minister questions diplomatic security in the US

Havana, Apr 30 (Prensa Latina) Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez questioned diplomatic security in the United States, remembering the attack against his country's embassy in Washington six years ago, a case that remains unsolved.

On the social network X, Rodriguez remed that on April 30, 2020, a terrorist fired 32 rounds from his AK-47 rifle at his country’s embassy “with the declared intention of hitting anything in front of him, including people.”

The case in the United States remains unsolved, which “raises doubts about diplomatic security in the US capital,” the head of Cuban diplomacy stated in the post.

Expanding on the topic, the Cuban Foreign Minister said that this is part of the well-known history of the US government protecting and supporting notorious terrorists who live, organize, and receive funding on US soil for terrorist acts against the Caribbean nation.

In the early morning hours of Thursday, April 30, 2020, at approximately 2:10 a.m. local time, an individual fired shots at the Cuban Embassy and Consulate located on NW 16th Street near NW Fuller Street.

No personnel were harmed and are safe and secure, but the building sustained material damage from the gunfire, the Cuban Foreign Ministry specified at the time.

In initial reactions, the events were presented as a “hate crime.” The reality is that it was an act of terrorism, the Cuban Foreign Minister declared.
