Omega 7
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Omega 7 was a small Cuban exile right-wing nationalist paramilitary terrorist group based in Florida and New York whose stated goal was to overthrow Fidel Castro. It is now said to be disbanded, its leaders imprisoned in the United States. It is considered a terrorist organization by the Cuban government as well as the Federal Bureau of Investigations. According to the FBI, Omega 7 members are mostly Bay of Pigs veterans trained in demolition, intelligence, and commando techniques. Omega 7 operated internationally but is said to have carried out most of its attacks in the US, these were mainly car bombings and direct assassinations, most of them done in a very flawless and difficult to trace manner. An internal split in the group helped the FBI to play the factions against each other leading to the imprisonment of key figures.
These paramilitaries have been accused of plotting and carrying out numerous assassinations of Cuban communist political leaders as well as attacks on targets, including Cuban airliners, Cuban government run hotels, embassies, and ships.
A famous brother group was Alpha 66 (still existent).
