This is a great catch re the Cuban/Fidel connection. Fidel has never met an anti American Terrorist that he didn't love. Particuliarly the al Qaeda cRats that can pay him big money for his help!

But I thought Cuba was our 'special friend' now and we were going to get rid of that nasty ol' embargo, etc. etc. /sarcasm

We know Castro is/has/continues developing bio-weapons, etc. Sponsoring revolutionary movements across Latin America. Supporting Marxist candidates, etc. etc. but free trade is supposed to make him see the light? b.s.

"The investigation was based on an anonymous letter received at the U.S. consulate in Bombay, India, in June 2001."

Good work, Dog. Good to keep in mind when any of those dreary naysayers who harp that nothing is being done to catch and prosecute terrorist and who expect instant gratification. Its a complicated, world-wide process

Thanks for noticing the Cuban connection. If memory serves, didn't several of the hijackers travel into the country via a circuitous route that led them through central america and cuba? I wonder if this dude is their travel connection?

Here is an interesting parallel from last year.  Note the Cuban and the anonymous letter connection, but this time involving Afghans stuck in the Caymans after coming from Cuba.
 
Anonymous Person(s) in Cayman Islands Warned of Attack43

     For over a year, authorities in the Cayman Islands were investigating three Afghan men who arrived on the island under strange circumstances. They claimed they boarded a ship in Turkey bound for Canada, but were dropped off in the Caymans, which they initially thought was Canada. Authorities say they're sure the trio actually arrived via Cuba using Pakistani passports.

     So what's the kicker? As the Los Angeles Times revealed: “Two weeks before the hijackings, an anonymous letter sent to a Cayman Islands radio station warned that the three might be involved with bin Laden in preparing 'a major terrorist act against the US via an airline or airlines.'”

     Meanwhile, the Ottawa Citizen reports that “a man in the Cayman Islands was said to have contacted American authorities in late August saying he overheard three Afghan men in a bar discussing planned attacks on the US.” There's no way to know if this man and the letter-writer are the same person, or whether these three men are the same ones mentioned in the letter, but either way at least one person knew what was going to happen and warned the authorities and the media.
