was over, but it surely doesn't look that way.

Marazul agency has been hit by two bombs at once, one time, and firebomed another, and 12 agencies offering trips to Cuba were bombed in the 70's and 80's, not to mention a mob which crashed into Marazul once and badly beat the employees, trying to get to the "exile" owner, Francisco Aruca, who was out.

Another "exile," Carlos Muñiz Varela, who started Viajes Varadero in 1978, was gunned in Puerto down 4 months after he opened his business.

More reason than ever to drop that damned travel ban. The idiots can't bomb every agency, can they?

What a shame. The Miami "exile" radical reactionaries are all probably having a good laugh over this one, of course.

No doubt the authorities have a very good idea who did this, or who to talk to about it.

Looks like they are reviving an old strategy. Interesting that the authorities probably know who did it, I hope so! This could put a slight damper on Cuba travel, considering that this gang is also known to blow up planes. Too late though since there are so many targets, and good point this is a reason to end travel restrictions.
