Reply to John Bolton’s allegations ON May 6, Otto Reich issued his lies about the alleged landing of four Cuban airplanes in the Venezuelan capital which were energetically denied by Cuba’s Foreign Ministry. That very same day, John Bolton, undersecretary of state for arms control and international security, gave a speech to the ultra-right Heritage Foundation which contained slanderous accusations that Cuba is supposedly developing programs for the production of biological weapons. His speech will receive a full and befitting reply tomorrow, Friday, May 10, at 6:00 p.m. Cuban time

Posted on Fri, May. 10, 2002 Cuban government announces Castro will respond to US charge about developing biological weapons HAVANA - (AP) -- President Fidel Castro will respond Friday evening to U.S. charges that it is trying to develop biological weapons for transfer to countries hostile to the United States, the Cuban government announced. The Communist Party daily Granma said in a short note Friday that Castro would make his response during the government's daily ''round table'' program beginning at 6 p.m. (2200 GMT) The newspaper also announced that 100,000 people had been called out for a Saturday rally to denounce Washington's ``fallacies.'' Havana made its first response to the charges on Thursday, characterizing Monday statements by U.S. State Department Undersecretary John R. Bolton as ``loathsome.'' Bolton made his statements during an address to the Heritage Foundation, a conservative research group in Washington. Castro's government in the past has accused the United States of using biological means to destroy crops and livestock on the island. Bolton's statements marked the first time the United States had raised the possibility of Cuban involvement in weapons of mass destruction. The allegations appeared to add to the Bush administration's rationale for keeping Cuba on a list of countries accused of engaging in international terrorism. miami.com
