Cuban officials have filed terrorism charges Wednesday against six suspects who were aboard a Florida-flagged speedboat that engaged in a shoot-out with Cuban forces last week. Prosecutors on Wednesday said they’re being held in pretrial detention and said they will receive "due process in defense of our people and the country’s institutions."

The incident took place last week in the waters off Cuba’s north coast. Officials say the group opened fire as they tried to infiltrate the island to commit acts of terrorism. Four suspects were killed, including one U.S. citizen. Afterwards, authorities unveiled items they say were seized from the boat, including a dozen high-powered weapons.
