2015-05-04 0

The group of Cuban heroes known as the Cuban Five will arrive in Venezuela today, where they will be honored in special ceremonies. Cuba's embassy in Caracas confirmed that their official tour includes visits to six Venezuelan states, starting in Caracas, where Mayor Jorge Rodriguez will hand them the keys to the city. The Cuban Five were imprisoned in the U.S. in 1998, accused of espionage. They had been monitoring Miami-based terrorist groups plotting to attack Cuba. The last members of the group were released by the U.S. government in late 2014. teleSUR
