US & CUBAN MILITARY CONTACTS

Brian Latell, former Cuba analyst for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA),  said to possess information from high-ranking officials of the US military, according to AFP.

“US and Cuban military have maintained various contact, some in the Dominican Republic, affirmed Brian Latell, ex-analyst for the CIA and author of Raul Castro’s biography titled, “After Fidel,” in statements made Friday on Radio France International.  From Miami, where he resides, Latell assured to possess information from high-ranking officials of the US military, indicating that for some time now they have had contact with Cuban military representatives.  “If true, it is an important milestone,” he sustained.  He also believed that those contacts “could only happen with the blessing of Raul (Castro), who is the head of the Cuban Armed Forces.” “Without Raul’s consent, it would not have been possible.”

Even though the US has officially rejected dialogue with the Cuban Government, back channel communication is being conducted thus far with the most stable institution in Cuba - its armed forces.
