FBI Agents Investigate Deadly Speedboat Shooting Incident in Cuba
After a fatal speedboat incident in Cuba, the Trump administration denies involvement as FBI agents arrive to investigate the event.
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has dispatched agents to Cuba to investigate a lethal speedboat shooting incident that occurred off the island's coast. The move comes after the Cuban government accused a group of armed men aboard a speedboat of attempting to infiltrate the country.
The Trump administration has strongly denied any U.S. government involvement in the incident, which resulted in the death of one Cuban border patrol officer. Cuban officials allege the speedboat was carrying explosives and weapons, suggesting the operation was intended to undermine the island nation's security.
According to the Cuban government, the speedboat approached the island's shores on the night of August 5th, prompting a confrontation with Cuban border patrol forces. In the ensuing exchange of gunfire, one Cuban officer was killed, and several others were injured. The speedboat then reportedly fled the scene, heading back towards international waters.
