At the moment, no one has claimed responsibility for this event, but that has not prevented Castro officials, such as Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez, from blaming the “anti-Cuban” groups in the United States, which have been classified as such only because they do not agree. agree with the regime and want a better quality of life for their families on the Island.
This has caused several Internet users to question what happened, pointing out several inconsistencies with the official version. One of these anomalies is the lack of a detainee, since the building has numerous security cameras, which should have at least captured the silhouette of the person responsible.
Likewise, the photographs shared show that the wicks used for these cocktails were made of paper, when a more common material is fabric. Additionally, the images also show that this paper was not burned, suggesting that it may have been thrown out.
Who thinks of throwing unlit Molotov cocktails?🤣🤣🤣

Due to all these reasons, many users inside and outside the Island consider that this is a false terrorist attack, a strategy that the regime would be applying after the designated president, Miguel Díaz-Canel, was ignored when requesting that Cuba was removed from the list of countries sponsoring terrorism in the recent United Nations General Assembly.
That, as a result of continuing to be on the list of sponsors of terrorism, sounds like self-attack to me!!!! They are too predictable
