Bayou of Pigs style plot aimed at Dominica
Investigators described a failed invasion plot involving mercenaries linked to the Ku Klux Klan aiming to topple Dominica's government after independence in 1978. The scheme spanned Louisiana to the Caribbean, with arrests, trials, and a New Orleans based undercover operation exposing plans to seize power, rail in drug and offshore interests, and control a new airport and tourism.
