A technical team from the Federal Bureau of Investigation has arrived in Cuba to investigate a deadly February speedboat confrontation involving Florida-based individuals, as survivors face terrorism charges that could carry severe penalties under Cuban law.
The February 25 incident involved a vessel carrying 10 people that departed from Florida and approached Cuba's northern coast, where it engaged in a firefight with border guards, according to Cuban authorities. Five of the boaters were killed and five others were detained. Cuban officials said the group was heavily armed, citing the seizure of rifles, ammunition, body armor and Molotov cocktails.
