CUBA demands its removal from the United States created State Sponsors of Terrorism List (SSOT), the Caribbean island’s ambassador to Britain said in an exclusive interview for the Morning Star.
Her Excellency Barbara Montalvo Alvarez says: “Who is the US to create this list? Who gave them the mandate? We don’t recognise the US has any moral authority to create such a list and US presidents know full well that Cuba has no links with terrorism.”
The list, first published in 1979, designated Syria, Iraq, South Yemen and Libya as state sponsors of terrorism. Cuba was added to the list three years later in 1982 under the Ronald Reagan presidency.
