The Associated Press was given access to Cuban military officials and shown the items displayed at the headquarters of the former Cuban Institute of Radio and Television ahead of a program that showed them to the public for the first time.

A stolen boat, with 10 people aboard, loaded with weapons, departs the Florida Keys but gunfire erupts before reaching Cuba. The explanation, according to the Cuban government, is the men aboard were terrorists who wanted to infiltrate the country.

The speedboat carrying 10 armed Cubans from the U.S — now part of a widening investigation by both the U.S. and Cuban government — was reported stolen from a Big Pine Key dock by its owner who learned it was missing from the media, according to the Monroe Country Sheriff’s Office.

Word from the Cuban government of a deadly encounter between its troops and a boat carrying armed expatriates is casting a spotlight on Cubans living in the U.S. who still harbor aspirations of a counter-revolution 67 years after a guerrilla uprising ushered in communism.

In comments to reporters as he left the White House, Trump said Secretary of State Marco Rubio was negotiating at a high level with the Cuban government.

Cuba's government says the 10 people on a Florida-registered boat that opened fire on its soldiers were "terrorists" trying to infiltrate the island. The country says its forces killed four people.

Cuba says two of the ten Cuban expats captured after a shootout with its coast guard were already on the regime's terrorist list — and in a recent video, one of them urged "cowardly" exiles to die to free the communist island. Meanwhile, it emerged that the boat used by the expats may have been stolen from a home in the Florida Keys.

Cuban soldiers confronted a speedboat carrying 10 people as the vessel approached the island and opened fire on the troops, who fired back. That's according to the Cuban government.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino says he has "complete confidence" in Mexico as a World Cup co-host despite days of cartel violence in the country that has left at least 70 people dead.

Cuban entrepreneurs like Aldo Alvarez hope Secretary of State Marco Rubio's pitch for economic as well as political rights will move Havana's communists — and Miami's exiles — to take the private sector more seriously amid the island's humanitarian emergency.

Cuba’s government said late Wednesday that the 10 passengers on a boat that opened fire on its soldiers were armed Cubans living in the U.S. who were trying to infiltrate the island and unleash terrorism. U.S. officials said they are reviewing the incident.

Cuban state media said the Florida-registered boat was approached for identification a mile off the coast of the Villa Clara province when the people aboard opened fire.
