Francisco Jose ‘Pepe’ Hernandez is said to have admitted serving the Central Intelligence Agency, but indicated that he did not consider himself or his cousin Luis Posada Carriles terrorists.[5][6][7] In 1997, a boat captained by militant Cuban exiles on the way to Venezuela was intercepted by the Coast Guard off the coast of Puerto Rico. Hidden in the hull of the vessel was a small arsenal including a .50 caliber Barrett assault rifle registered to Hernandez, according to an FBI report. They admitted that they were going to Venezuela to attempt to assassinate Fidel Castro with the weapon.[8]
