Brandes RCMP Liaison Officer Re: -EJERCITO SECRETO DE CUBA (ESC) The Ejercito Secreto De Cuba is believed to be an anti-Castro Cuban exile (ACE) terrorist group operating out .»Of Miami, Florida, and affiliated with the United Revolu- ’ tionary Organization (URO). The URO is an umbrella organi- zation based in Latin America which came into being when five ACE terrorist groups met in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, on 11-12 June 1976. Since its formation under the leadership of Orlando Bosch Avila, the URO has claimed responsibility for several acts of terrorism in the Caribbean and Meso America. In July 1976, the ESC began sending a logograph (photocopy attached) to several Canadian facilities and businesses in Canada and abroad which appeared to be a warning of some sort. They have also sent the same logo- graph to the Cuban and Czech Consulates in Montreal. The bulk of the mail sent by the ESC was post-marked Miami, Florida. As of late September, there had been a total of eight such warnings of which we are aware. They were sent to the following: : Four to Pickford and Black, Halifax, Nova Scotia (shipping agents) One to the Canadian Consulate General, New York, NY One to the Canadian Consulate General, Boston, Mass. One to the Cuban Consulate, Montreal, Canada ry One to the Czech Consulate, Montreal, Canada ry, 3032628- ENCLOSURE, , DocId: 32302113 Page 10
