Groups seek info from US about exiles in Cuba
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI -- Two groups have filed Freedom of Information Act requests
seeking details from the U.S. government about Cuban exiles detained on
the communist island in an alleged terrorist plot.

The requests were filed with the FBI, CIA and State Department by the
National Committee to Free the Cuban Five and the Answer Coalition.
Attorneys representing the groups were scheduled to hold a news
conference Thursday in Miami about the issue.

Cuba announced earlier this month that four Cuban exiles from Miami were
arrested for planning what authorities called "terrorist actions"
against military targets on the island. They were the first such arrests
in years.

The groups also seek information any support the men had within the U.S.
for their purported mission.

Miami exiles cited by Cuba as backers deny any connection.
