Exiled refugees and Alpha 66 training in California
Exiled Cubans and Nicaraguans train in Southern California and Florida for armed actions against their homelands. Alpha 66 discusses joining Angolan rebels. Federal and state officials say Alpha 66 activities are not illegal under California law as trainees do not use live public safety items. A federal view holds crimes occur if members leave the U.S. to confront another nation. Authorities urge exiles to respect neutrality and not turn America into a staging area for paramilitary operations.
