HAVANA (AP) — Four Cuban exiles from Miami are being held for planning “terrorist actions” against military targets on the island, Havana authorities said Wednesday in announcing the first such arrests in years.

The Interior Ministry said the men were detained April 26, but released few specific details. It was not clear why it took so long to make the arrests public.
