Havana, August 24 (KCNA) -- The Cuban Foreign Ministry in a declaration on August 20 strongly condemned the U.S. unreasonable act.

It rejected the U.S. spurious list of "sponsors of international terrorism", and pointed out that its "only aim is to discredit our country and continue justifying the cruel and blockade policy."

The United States, which is promoting terrorism, kidnappings, assassinations, has neither right to judge Cuba, it noted, and went on:

"Cuba demands that the U.S. government punish the real terrorists who reside on U.S. territory today, release the five heroes and end the policy of blockade and hostility against our country."
