Cubana de Aviación Flight 455 was a Cuban flight from
Barbados to
Jamaica that was brought down on October 6,
1976 by a CIA-sponsored terrorist attack. All 78 people on board the
Douglas DC-8 aircraft were killed in what was then the deadliest terrorist airline attack in the
Western Hemisphere. Two time bombs were used, variously described as dynamite or
C-4.
Several CIA-linked anti-Castro
Cuban exiles and members of the
Venezuelan secret police
DISIP were implicated by the evidence. Political complications quickly arose when
Cuba accused the
US government of being an accomplice to the attack.
CIA documents released in
2005 indicate that the agency "had concrete advance intelligence, as early as
June 1976, on plans by
Cuban exile terrorist groups to bomb a
Cubana airliner." Former
CIA operative Posada Carriles denies involvement but provides many details of the incident in his book "Caminos del
Guerrero" (
Way of the Warrior).
Eleven minutes after takeoff from Barbados's
Seawell Airport (now
Grantley Adams International Airport) and at an altitude of 18,
000 feet, two bombs exploded on board. One was located in the aircraft's rear lavatory, and another in the midsection of the passenger cabin. The former ultimately destroyed the aircraft's control cables, while the latter blasted a
hole in the aircraft and started a fire.[5]
The plane went into a rapid descent, while the pilots tried unsuccessfully to return the plane to Seawell Airport.[6] The captain,
Wilfredo Pérez Pérez, radioed to the control tower: "We have an explosion aboard, we are descending immediately!
... We have fire on board!
We are requesting immediate landing! We have a total emergency!" Realizing a successful landing was no longer possible, it appears that the pilot turned the craft away from the beach and towards the
Caribbean Sea off porters
St James, saving the lives of many tourists. This occurred about eight kilometres short of the airport.
All 73 passengers and 5 crew aboard the plane died: the passengers comprised 57
Cubans, 11 Guyanese, and five
North Koreans.[5] Among the dead were all 24 members of the
1975 national Cuban fencing team that had just won all the gold medals in the
Central American and Caribbean Championships; many were teenagers. Several officials of the
Cuban government were also aboard the plane:
Manuel Permuy Hernández, director of the
National Institute of Sports (INDER);
Jorge de la Nuez Suárez, secretary for the shrimp fleet;
Alfonso González,
National Commissioner of firearm sports; and
Domingo Chacón
Coello, an agent from the
Interior Ministry . The 11 Guyanese passengers included five travelling to Cuba to study medicine, and the young wife of a Guyanese diplomat. The five
Koreans were government officials and a cameraman.
Luis Posada Carriles, a Cuban-born naturalized Venezuelan, was the
Director of Counterintelligence at
Venezuela's
FBI equivalent, the DISIP, from
1967 to
1974.
A U.S.
Government document released through
FOIA also confirms
Posada's status with the CIA: "
Luis Posada, in whom CIA has an operational interest - Posada is receiving approximately $
300 per month from CIA". Posada was heavily involved with right-wing anti-Castro groups, in particular the
Cuban-American National Foundation (
CANF) and the Coordinadora de Organizaciones Revolucionarias Unidas (
Coordination of United Revolutionary Organizations -
CORU), led at the time by
Orlando Bosch.
According to documents, Posada stopped being a CIA asset in 1974, but there remained "occasional contact" until June 1976, a few months before the bombing. CIA had concrete advance intelligence, as early as June 1976, on possible plans by Cuban exile terrorist groups to bomb a Cubana airliner, and the FBI's attaché in
Caracas had multiple contacts with one of the
Venezuelans who placed the bomb on the plane, and provided him with a visa to the
U.S. five days before the bombing, despite suspicions that he was engaged in terrorist activities at the direction of Luis Posada Carriles.
A declassified CIA document dated
October 12, 1976, a few days after bombing, quotes Posada as saying, a few days after a plate fund-raising meeting for CORU held around
September 15, "We are going to hit a Cuban airliner...
Orlando has the details" (
Source Comment: The identities of "We" and "Orlando" were not known at the time.)
" Our hope is that the US government will designate Luis Posada Carriles as a terrorist and hold him accountable for the pain, suffering and loss he has caused to us and so many other families. "
