Description | Bush Administration Alleges Cuba Has Weapons of Mass Destruction
The Sun-Sentinel
Repeating and strengthening previous allegations about Cuba's alleged weapons of mass destruction program, a Bush administration official Tuesday told Congress in written testimony that the island "remains a terrorist and biological weapons threat to the United States. I believe the case for the existence of a developmental Cuba biological weapons research and development effort is strong," said John Bolton, undersecretary of state for arms control and international security. Bolton made the allegations as part of a 25-page written statement on the development and spread of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. Bolton also said Cuba has been successful at hiding details of its weapons program thanks to data passed to Havana by convicted spy Ana Belen Montes, the former senior Cuba analyst for the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency. Montes is serving 25 years in federal prison after pleading guilty in 2002 of spying for Cuba. |
