If, as alleged, they opened fire on Cuban law enforcement in Cuban territorial waters and lost the resultant firefight, then it sounds like a FAFO and this is Cuba’s matter to deal with. The U.S. is free to provide consular services to any of its citizens who are subsequently in Cuban custody.

The boat, which was registered in Florida, “was carrying 10 armed individuals who, according to preliminary statements from those detained, intended to carry out an infiltration for terrorist purposes,” the Cuban Interior Ministry said in a statement.

“Assault rifles, handguns, improvised explosive devices (Molotov cocktails), bulletproof vests, telescopic sights, and camouflage uniforms were seized,” it said.
