Cuban Press Attacks Linked to Plotters Over Gibson Assault
In Washington on August 30, Cuban Minister Senor Martin Reviro said Enrique Maza the Havana reporter who struck Hugh Gibson had been urged by opponents of the United States to provoke trouble. Reviro notified the Cuban government in Washington demanding punishment for Maza. The State Department reported Cuban press attacks on Gibson and American contractors as disgraceful and indicated strong protests would be made. Some Havana articles are seen as aiming to force a duel with the American charge d'affaires.
