Investigation into foiled terrorist infiltration attempt moves forward. U.S. authorities express willingness to cooperate 

In compliance with the legal provisions in force in Cuba, forensic and investigative actions are progressing that will allow for the full clarification of the facts, as well as the implication of each of the perpetrators.
The statements made by the detainees themselves, together with a series of investigative procedures, reinforce the evidence against them, while new elements are being obtained that establish the involvement of other individuals based in the United States.
From the outset, the Cuban authorities have maintained timely communication with their U.S. counterparts. On March 2nd, 2026, U.S. authorities conveyed through diplomatic channels their willingness to cooperate fully in the investigation. Cooperation could include the exchange of information and evidence, as well as other joint actions.
Given the seriousness of the events and the threat that terrorism poses not only to Cuba, the national authorities, consistent with their historical position on this issue, consider it their duty to cooperate reciprocally in confronting this dangerous scourge for all humanity.
The injured detainees continue to receive specialized medical care according to their health status and the severity of their injuries. In the case of Roberto Álvarez Ávila, he died on March 4th as a result of his injuries.
The public will be kept informed as the investigation progresses.
