Operation Mongoose: The Cuban Missile Crisis
The terrorist activities carried out by agents armed, organized and funded by the CIA were a further source of tension between the U.S. and Cuban governments. They were a major factor contributing to the Soviet decision to place missiles in Cuba, and in the Cuban decision to accept, leading to the Cuban Missile Crisis.
