On Thursday, April 30 this year, at 2.05am, a terrorist attack was perpetrated against the Cuban Embassy in the US.
Thirty-two rounds were fired from a semi-automatic assault rifle at our diplomatic mission in Washington DC.
At the time of the events, there were 10 officials in the building. If the attack had taken place at another time, the story would be different. A massacre could have occurred.
