Michael Bustamante: 最初离开古巴的是与被卡斯特罗推翻的政府关系最密切的人，后来更多中产阶级和专业人士也开始离开，因为他们不喜欢事态的发展。这些古巴人在迈阿密重建了哈瓦那，包括重建学校和企业，甚至发明了名誉银行。古巴极端主义的根源在于早期由中央情报局资助的南佛罗里达反卡斯特罗运动，后来由于美国政府停止资助，他们感到被背叛，只能靠自己，导致他们采取了更激进的恐怖主义姿态。 Nicholas Griffin: 古巴人通过汇集资金建立自己的银行，并依靠熟人关系发放贷款，从而互相帮助。迈阿密是70年代世界上爆炸案最多的城市，以至于《迈阿密先驱报》在头版上用棒球比分牌记录每周的爆炸案数量。如果中央情报局没有培养出这一代炸弹制造者，也许情况就不会以如此有害的方式展现出来。 Rick Morales: 我父亲在抵达迈阿密后，立即被中央情报局招募，加入了一个由飞行员、炸弹制造者和狙击手组成的准军事团队，他们拥有可以在未来计划中使用的专业技能。黑手党成员会雇佣我的父亲，因为他是以一种不会杀死任何人的方式安装炸弹的专家。当他不忙于为黑手党做事时，莫拉莱斯会花时间为反卡斯特罗运动安装炸弹，这是一个家族企业。我父亲认为，那架飞机是合法的目标，因为在他看来，机上的73人都是共产主义猪和未来的革命共产主义猪。

Shownotes Transcript

When a bomb goes off on a south Florida street, it bears all the hallmarks of a Cuban expert. Castroland is going international. As exiles flock to Miami, Fidel sets off on a globe-trotting mission - meeting Colonel Gaddafi in Libya and dispatching troops to Angola. But back at home, not everything is rosy. And when a bus driver rams his vehicle through the gates of an embassy, Castro will encounter a problem unlike any he’s ever faced before…
