Invasion Plot by Cuban Haitian Exiles Nabbed in Florida Keys
A group of 21 Cuban and Haitian exiles and Miami and New York operatives were detained by U.S. customs on a remote Cocoa Phosphate Beach area in the Florida Keys. Authorities say the plan involved arming, training, and transporting forces to Haiti to overthrow Duvalier, with Masferrer claiming ships and a three-ship convoy were to rendezvous offshore. The capture halted the operation and officials expect charges of attempting to export arms.
