Despite the Cuban government guarantees, 20 ETA members allegedly continue to be based in Havana, displeasing the US State Department.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Cuba, which was removed from the US State Sponsors of Terrorism list in May 2015, continues to allow more than 20 separatists from the Basque Fatherland and Liberty Organization (ETA) to live in the country, according to the US State Department’s annual terrorism report released on Friday.

“The Government of Cuba does continue to allow approximately two dozen members of the Basque Fatherland and Liberty Organization (ETA) to remain in the country,” the 2014 country report on terrorism said.

The State Department added, however, that the Cuban government provided assurances that it would never permit the ETA to use Cuban territory for activities against Spain or any other country.

The ETA is recognized as a terrorist group by the United States and European Union for terror attacks carried out in Spain.
