EPISODE #599 THE CUBAN FIVE

The Cuban Five were dispatched to Florida in the early 1990s to infiltrate militant anti-Castro exile groups hatching terrorist attacks against their country. In 1998, after the Cubans had passed on to the U.S. government information their agents had uncovered about a plot to blow up an airplane filled with Cuban beach-bound tourists, the FBI arrested, not the terrorists plotting the attack, but the agents trying to stop it!
