MIAMI -- The Cuban government has released a list of people it calls terrorists.

The list, containing 64 names, was released late Sunday by the Cuban Government and printed in the state controlled newspapers.

If you live in Miami the list may contain the name of someone you know, or perhaps a relative -- certainly it contains someone you have seen on television or read about in the local papers.

The list is the lead story on local talk radio, certainly on Spanish language television, and is getting mention on some English language newscasts.

On it are the names of persons the Cuban Government regards as terrorists -- people who have participated in actions against the Island Nation in attempts to topple the Castro government.

There is Luis Posada Carriles, who is jailed in Panama, accused of attempting to plant a bomb under Castro. There is Orlando Bosch, who is credited with blowing up a Cuban airliner. Also on the list, Andres Nazario Sargen, who heads up Alpha 66, the group of aging exiles who once invaded the Island on a regular basis.

Roldofo Frometa made the list, and headlines lately, when he told the press that exiles had shot up accused Cuban spy Juan Pablo Roque. We learn that Felipe Valls who owns the Versailles and La Careta Restaurants is a terrorist according to the Castro government, as is radio host Ninoska Perez. Dr. Manuel Cereijo is the 17th person mentioned, the mild mannered retired professor makes the list because he is friendly with the leadership of the Cuban American National Foundation.

Most of the CANF members are listed, too.

Nowhere to be found, however, is Jose Basulto who has often been labeled a terrorist by Cuba. The same goes for Ramon Saul Sanchez, who certainly carries a high profile in the exile crowd.

How about Armando Perez Rural, once with Castro, now Miami's most vocal anti-Castro voice? Not there, either.

What is most disturbing about this list is the amount of detail it contains.

No only are there the names, but for each individual there is a home address, work address, home telephone number, work telephone number, beeper number, marital status, complete physical description, and a resume. In short, the list proves the Cubans know all about their enemies. It leaves no question that their intelligence operatives did the yeoman's work of tracking down the information.

The question is, why was this released, and why now?

Whatever the reason for its release, "the list" is the big buzz in Miami. You can check out the list for yourself by clicking here.
