Controversial (Cuba) Travel Company Goes Up In Flames

http://miami.cbslocal.com/2012/04/27/controversial-travel-company-goes-up-in-flames/

CORAL GABLES (CBSMiami) – A Coral Gables based travel company went up in flames Friday morning and the incident has brought out the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms to look into exactly what happened.

The fire started at Airline Brokers Company, Inc. located at 815 Ponce de Leon Blvd early Friday morning. The business’ owner, Vivian Mannerud, has arranged flights and trips to Cuba since the 1980’s. Mannerud said Friday’s incident happened started on her desk..

“If you look in there, there’s not remnants of anything that looks like a piece of furniture; it’s been pulverized,” Mannerud said.

***** NOTE: Vivian Mannerud thinks the attack is related to her flight for people to see the Pope! Just great. Maybe Mr. Planadora is involved -- too cowardly to take responsibility
