Cuban website refutes terrorism claims

Cuba's launched a website to refute claims that it has anything to do with terrorism.

Answering questions on the Web site, the head of the National Assembly, Ricardo Alarcon, said Cuba was cooperating with its longtime foe, the United States, on countering international terrorism since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

"We are doing everything we can," he said, citing the opening of Cuban airspace to diverted air traffic the day of the attacks and accepting without protest the use of the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay as a detention camp for prisoners from Afghanistan.
