The Fraunces Tavern explosion in New York is considered one of the most violent terrorist acts in the city’s history.
LIMA, Peru – On the 51st anniversary of the Fraunces Tavern tragedy, the Secretary of State in the United States, Marco Rubio, condemned this Saturday the complicity of the Castro regime with fugitives and terrorists from the North American country.
“On this day in 1975, four people were killed and fifty others were injured during a terrorist attack at the Fraunces Tavern in New York City. The illegitimate Cuban regime continues to harbor William Morales, the architect of this heinous crime,” Rubio wrote via x (formerly Twitter).
The Fraunces Tavern explosion in New York is considered one of the most violent terrorist acts in the city’s history and was part of a series of extremist attacks that impacted the country during the 1970s.
The tragedy occurred on January 24, 1975, when members of the FALN, a Puerto Rican nationalist group, placed a bomb in the tavern, leaving about four dead and about 40 injured.
One of those responsible for the tragedy, William “Guillermo” Morales, fled the United States and is part of the dozens of fugitives and terrorists that the Castro dictatorship welcomed on the Island.
“We honor the memory of the deceased and recognize the enduring pain of all those affected by this tragedy. The United States will not give up in its search for justice for the victims,” Rubio highlighted in his publication.
It is estimated that around of 70 fugitives They have been welcomed by the Cuban regime. These are, in most cases, people who have been accused of kidnapping, murder, and other drug-related offenses.
In August 2022, the now Secretary of State of the United States, Marco Rubio, and Senator Bob Menéndez presented before the Senate of that country a law that requires the Cuban regime to extradite terrorists and fugitives.
Under the name of Justice Law for Police Officers Werner Foerster and Frank Connorthe bipartisan initiative established as official United States policy the requirement for immediate extradition of all fugitives from justice found in Cuba.
