# CUBAN EXTREMISTS[continued from preceding page]includes representatives from Dade County and Miami police, the U.S. Customs Service and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Although the Federal Bureau of Investigation is not formally a part of this task force, its agents work closely with it.With co-operation from Cuban refugees who are sick of the terrorist violence, law officers have arrested a number of suspects. Police also have learned enough about other suspects so that their freedom to engage in new acts of violence can be limited even though there is not enough evidence to prosecute them.A federal grand jury is interrogating witnesses who might have some knowledge of terror operations.Efforts of law-enforce.nent officials to deal with the terrorist groups face formidable handicaps, however. The terrorists seem to know what police are doing. Lieutenant Lyons relates that one suspect "identified one of my officers who had never met him before, called him by name and told him what section he worked in and what his duties were."Terrorists are protected by a web of old loyalties: Most of them worked at one time or another for the U.S. Government. Many have had several roles: members of the U.S. Army, CIA operatives and FBI informants. One refugee leader suggests that law-enforcement officials have not found the killers of Cubans "because they don't want to."A further complication is the heavy infiltration of the terrorist movement by members of Castro's intelligence corps. They not only gather intelligence but sometimes act as agents provocateurs, instigating terrorist acts designed to discredit the refugees and influence American policy."The Cuban Prime Minister has "surfaced" enough of such agents to reveal their pattern of operation. Farly this year, for example, Manuel de Armas, a Cuban refugee who was named in Senate committee testimony as having been involved in terrorist activities in Miami, showed up in Havana. In an April 22 broadcast by Radio Havana, De Armas said that he had supplied the explosives used in the killing of a man named Rolando Masferrer and that a CIA agent had provided him with the explosives.In a speech on October 15, Castro boasted of a double agent who Castro claimed had passed on coded instructions from the CLA. Said Castro: "From the very moment when he was recruited by the CIA and over a period of 10 years, the supposed agent has kept the Cuban Coverament fully informed of all his contacts with [the CIA] and of the equipment and instructions he has received."Castro blamed the CIA for the airliner bombing and other acts of violence. "Who else but the CIA can curry out these acts?" Castro asked.Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has flatly denied U.S. involvement in the airliner bombing. 1le said: "I can state categorically that no official of the United States Government, nobody paid by the American Government, nobody in contact with the Ancrican Government has had anything to do with this crash of the airliner. We consider actions like this totally reprehensible."The CIA declines to discuss Cuban refugee terrorism..Officials of other Government agencies say they seriously doubt that the CIA, after all the criticisin it has received for some of its earlier, activities, is still involved in operations against the Castro regime. However, the agency is described as providing very little help in combatting the terrorist groups. "We have absolutely no contact with the CIA," says Lieutenant Lyons. "I'd like to, but they don't talk to us." One reason for that attitude may be that laws bar the CIA from domestic law-enforcement activities.Other laws, or the lack of them, also complicate the fight against the terrorists. U.S. agencies cannot become involved in investigations of terrorism outside the United States unless the crime involves violations of neutrality laws making it illegal to conspire in this country to commit crimes abroad or to export arins without a license.Although shocked by the October 6 airliner hombing. U.S. officials reluctantly decided there was no authorization for the FBI to enter that ease.With such handicaps as these, law enforcement officials say they can look forward to only limited success against the terrorists. Any real solution to the problem must come from within the Cuban refugee community-and investigators state that the co-operation they get there does not extend to cases of violence committed outside the U.S.TERRORISTS' ARSENAL:PLANES TO CANNONSOne measure of the military equipment that is available to Culan termostata la provided by this partial inventory com piled by authorities:*   10 or more high-speed motor launchos about 30 feet long, with special fuel tanke for extre range*   A number of small, spotter avcraft*   Large-caliber recoilloss rifles*   Miselle-antitank wespons*   Wide assortment of smaller weapons*   Large quantities of C-4 explosives devel oped by the U.8.
