Placing a country in the US list of countries sponsors for terrorism is intended to lend some phony legitimacy to UCMs imposed against targeted States. The first list of countries allegedly sponsors of terrorism was issued in 1979[6]. The statement denounced the inclusion of Cuba on the terrorism list as lacking factual, legal or moral basis[9]. Countries that have condemned Israel as a state sponsoring terrorism include Bolivia, Iran, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey and Yemen. Why was Cuba ever put on the list of state sponsors of terrorism?
