Cuban Nationalist Association

Some time in the evening of August 8, 1963, Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) received an advanced anonymous warning that there would be an attempt on a Cuban ship in Montreal, Canada. Before dawn, at 3:11 am on August 9, 1963, a 1.091–ton Cuban Cargo boat called the Maria Teresa was rocked with an explosion in front of her bow while moored at Shed 10 in the harbor at Montreal. The explosion sent a wave 30 feet high, and damaged a few windows in a port building, but the ship remained unharmed. The crew mates of the vessel were still asleep. A few hours later, the MNC claimed full responsibility for the attack, and said that its commandos had boarded the vessel and stole top secret Cuban government documents before a separate team of frogmen set off an explosive near the ship's hull. == Attack on the United Nations ==

The MNC was responsible for the firing of a bazooka at the Headquarters of the United Nations building in 1964. The United Nations was hosting Che Guevara, who was giving a speech at the time. Guevara did not pause his speech as the bazooka arced across the East River, falling short of its target and splashing down into the water, rattling the windows of the building as it exploded. Later, when Guevara was asked for comment, he said that the explosion "has given the whole thing more flavor," while smoking a Cuban cigar. After the explosion, the window shades at the chambers of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) were closed, in order to protect UNSC delegates from shards of glass. These curtains remained closed until 2019, when they were opened again for the first time since the attack. == Bombing of the Tomb of Karl Marx ==

The Cuban Nationalist Association also claimed responsibility for the bombing of the Tomb of Karl Marx in London. == Bombing of the Cuban Embassy ==

In 1966, the group was responsible for the bombing of the Embassy of Cuba in Ottawa, Canada. == Assassination of Orlando Letelier ==

In 1976, the Cuban Nationalist Movement were involved in the assassination of Orlando Letelier in conjunction with Chilean security agents working for Augusto Pinochet. Dionisio Suarez pled guilty. == References ==
