The documents detail FBI and CIA investigations into Cuban exile groups operating in Miami, Florida, during 1968. These groups, including Cuban Power and the Movimiento Insurreccional de Recuperación Revolucionaria (MIRR), were linked to bombings targeting U.S. interests, such as a B-25 cargo aircraft at Miami International Airport on January 20, 1968. Key figures include ORLANDO BOSCH AVILA (leader of Cuban Power), JORGE GONZALEZ ("Bombilla," alleged bomb planner), and RICARDO MORALES NAVARETTE. The FBI and CIA monitored these groups for potential threats, noting activities such as anonymous calls, meetings to coordinate bombings, and the use of typewriters to evade detection. Explosives like C-4 and C-5 were reportedly distributed through networks like the Second National Front of Escambray and companies like Mule Industries. Social security numbers (SSNs) are present but redacted in the text.
